Let's face it, those kindumb songs aren't award-winning compositions. But one would reason that since the songs aint so hot, at least some emphasis would be placed on the quality of singing right? WRONG! Emphasis is apparently reserved exclusively for talks and field circus.
At one of my former congos, for the dedication of the Kingdom Hall, the elders decided to form a choir. Of course, only elderettes, elderette wannabes, and pioneers need apply (regardless of singing ability). On the day in question there was a capacity audience to witness the supreme debacle. OMG! Talk about cacophony! The singing was absolutely horrendous! It was so painful to listen to, that I can't even recall the Kingdumb song they sung. And to make the affair even worse, the congregation Secretary conductor stood there waving a broken radio antenna wildly in front of the group as they assaulted our ears!
I couldn't hold it ... I bust out laughing.
