Teeny-tiny Jesus rock opera from The Credibility Gap, made as a Warner Bros. convention promo 7" in 1973. Be sure to look for the full album, which does not exist. Sez Harry Shearer: "The idea was, [Warners] were going to release four new albums and the fifth was going to be a ringer, and this was to be excerpts from it. So we wrote a take-off on rock operas... It dealt with the birth of Jesus from the point of view of Joseph, the odd man out. We recorded it in an hour. It was a joke." And (warning!) a serious earworm.
