In
the spring of 1999, something amazing happened
for Prime Example: our second song released to
radio through Capitol
Enterprises was a hit on every station
that took a chance and played it! Enough
reporting stations had it in their Top Ten chart
that it showed up in the national Singing News
magazine's chart at #73 in their Top 80 Southern
Gospel songs for February of that year. (Our
first release, "Testimony Show," had
risen as far as #121 on the Singing News chart.)
Prime Example's radio distributor, Danny Kramer
of Capitol Enterpises, stated, "The response
we've received is phenomenal! No other song we've
ever released on our compilation discs has ever
gotten this kind of reaction.... DJ's from all
over are calling to say that they love it!"
Now,
with the Spring 2006 re-release to radio, history
is repeating itself! Randy Catoe, General Manager
of WSTS in Fairmont, NC, said "I aired
'Atttack of the Monster Tongue' during our
morning show this morning and got an unbelievable
response!" Similar reports are coming in
from all over.
You
can get the Prime Example CD that contains this
song, plus others, on the Comedy CDs page.
But
you can also get the soundtrack CD to do it
yourself! Keep reading...
Now available in two
versions! Read the lyrics of the

We have received
many calls from stations reporting that their
request lines were going crazy over "The
Monster Tongue," and listeners arecalling us
not only for copies of the song, but for the
soundtrack to it, so they could perform it, too!
Due
to popular demand, we are making available the
soundtrack to this song so that you or your group
can sing and perform it! But the CD contains much
more than just one soundtrack...there are
multiple cuts for your convenience!
(Move your mouse over the
tongue to see it on the move!)
Cut 1 is the
complete song.
Cut 2 is without the skit parts, so your
group can
act out them out and do their own
dialogue.
Cut 3 is without the narration or skit
parts.
Cut 4 is the music and sound effects
only.
Then there is a
section of isolated song bits
and sound effects for use with the longer
sketch version of the song. You will
need these to perform the sketch
properly.
We decided to release all
these different versions so that you can choose
the level of involvement you or your group take
in performing it. After all it's not your typical
"put on the music and sing along" type
of song, is it? Some had not considered the
options they would have to decide on to perform
it, so we thought it out and made all versions
available for your ease of use.
(Note: Before ordering,
think about this: if all you
need is a recording of the
song, it's better to get the whole
album that it's on, called
"Comedy Skits & Songs," available
on our Comedy
CDs page. That's a better
use of your money: you get more for it. However,
if you want the soundtrack
versions to sing to or perform
lines with, then the
soundtrack CD is what you need.)
This
soundtrack is on the Double
Feature CD #2 with the soundtrack to
"Testimony Show."
The price for the Double
Feature CD #2 Soundtrack is $20, plus $2 shipping
and handling. To instantly order your copy using
a credit card, go to our Soundtracks Page.

Here's a funny
looking "Big Mouth" puppet that
can be used to cavort around during the
chorus of the song, and lip-synch to the
lyrics. Order it for $59.95 by

Takin'
It On The Road!
If you present this
skit more than once, at different places
(as many have), the investment will be
more than worth it. Used in conjunction
with the soundtrack, it will be a hit
everywhere!
Here is part of an
article that appeared in the Dallas Morning News
on Sunday | July 22, 2001 about a puppet team
that uses the Monster Tongue song for their
puppet program. Many puppet ministries have used
it and have reported great success.
Watch that tongue!
Puppets' lessons reach beyond church
05/26/2001
By KRISTEN HOLLAND / The Dallas Morning News
Audience members had better watch more than their
own tongues when
the Gospel Expression Puppets take the stage.
They'd better watch for the Monster Tongue, too.
The puppet appears during a song
about the dangers of gossiping.
Titled The Attack of the Monster
Tongue, the act is one of the
puppet group's most requested and
is based on ideas from the biblical
Book of James.
"The tongue can be the most
damaging weapon," said Yavonne
Simons, wife of puppeteer Reggie
Simons and a member of the Brand
New Touch musical group.
