79: The Pink Floyd song Sheep contains a parody of the 23rd Psalm, as follows:
The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want. He makes me down to lie, Through pastures green, He leadeth me the silent waters by. With bright knives, He releaseth my soul. He maketh me to hang on hooks in high places. He converteth me to lamb cutlets. For lo! He hath great power and great hunger. When cometh the day we lowly ones, Through quiet reflection and great dedication, Master the art of karate, Lo! we shall rise up And then we'll make the bugger's eyes water.
Quite obviously, you should quit eating that lamb, or it will karate-chop your head into bits.
