There's a really funny episode of "The Simpsons" in which Bart sneaks that
song into the church service as a hymn (hey, it's about the Garden of Eden,
isn't it?). It shows the entire congregation singing it, and their little
old lady organist trying to get through that organ solo. At the end, the
entire congregation is holding up lit matches. It's really funny.
