For the Society for a Moratorium on the Music of Marty Haugen and David Haas.

The comments are amusing.  Here is a selection:

I have been forcefed that abominable music for as long as I have been Catholic. It’s like the Care Bears’ Mass.

It’s not enough to be a member, all you church musicians out there! You have to NOT do this music at Mass, no matter what the liturgist tells you! You know who you are! I see your name on the list!

I don’t know who "wrote" it, but did you ever notice that the tune to "Here I am Lord" is eerily like that of the Brady Bunch theme song?

Maybe the Vatican will institute the Holy Office for the Inquisition of Really, Really, Really Bad Liturgical Music.

As if that weren’t enough, there are parodies.  Everybody now, one two three!

A Ditty to God (after Dan Schutte’s The City of God)

Awake from your slumber, arise from your sleep;
The homily’s over, it wasn’t too deep.
He spoke of a ‘journey’, well, what else does he say?
We’re all part of a ‘story’ as we go on our way.

So let’s sing a ditty to God,
It’s a way we can all be together.
And we’ll be the City of God
If we tell his story once more…

And:

Here I Am, Lord

Here I am, Lord,
I’ve got your pizza,
And it’s only fourteen-ninety-five.
Extra cheese, Lord,
With pepperoni,
And a little bag of peppers on the side.

And:

Gather Us In

Here in this place, our comfortable parish,
All of the statues carried away,
See in each face a vacuous visage,
Brought here by guilt or by R.C.I.A.

Gather us in, by Bimmer or Hummer,
Gather us in, so we can feel good,
Come to us now in this barren Zen temple,
With only a shrub and an altar of wood.

H/t Darwin Catholic, I think.
