Review:
Things get weirder with Floyd's new animal friend, Bernie the
Billy Goat. I mean, a goat isn't exactly a Christian symbol, is it? Bernie's
voice is like Charlie and Woody's except with more of a drawl and a strong
goat quiver and tremble. He even goes, "Beh-h-h-h-h!," alot. Here's an
example: "Bernie, what are you doing?" "Exercising faith!" (singing:)"1,
2, You're doing fine, read the Bible one more time, 3, 4, 5, 6, It'll make
you strong, it'll make you quick, 7, 8, 9, 10, Now read it once again,
I'm exercising faith in the Lord." And this example: "Bernie, isn't it
good just knowing that Jesus is using you?" "Oh-h-h-h, boy-y-y-y-y-y!"
This record is creepy! The cover shows Bernie in overalls in a barnyard
with a cow, a duck, a pig, a chicken, a rooster, a horse, and two eyes in
the dark peeping out of a barn window. They're all singing Sunday School
songs. (Robert Dayton, Rocktober Magazine, 2001)
