I have noticed a lot of people on here do not like the hymn, “Lord of the Dance”. Why not?

That’s my personal favorite 👍 … Sad that you only hear it once every few years 😦
 
Recurring visions of Michael Flattley in a chasuble, jig tapping around the altar.

I don’t care for it, probably because it could have been put to different music, and having to sing it in school :rolleyes:
Now see what youv’e done 😉 I can’t get it out of my head, :whistle: personally I like the words of the Magnificat put to music, and haven’t heard the Lord of the dance in years.
 
I can’t say that I have this issue at my church. Today I heard Hydan’s Little Organ Mass.
 
There are a couple intresting parodies of “Lord of the Dance”

Sung to: Lord of the Dance
I swayed with the choir
when the gath’ring song was sung
Then I pranced right up the aisle
When the Sanctus bell was rung
Then I sashayed around the altar
And I danced a little more,
But I tripped over my chasuble and landed on the floor.
“ I’ll be dancing everywhere, you see,
for I am Liturgical Dance.” said she
“ And I’ll lead you all, whoever you may be
Into doing Liturgical Dance with me.”

Sung to: Lord of the Dance
We sang some songs in Spanish
And we sang some songs in French
Once we tried to sing Swahili,
Curiosity to quench.
But we never will sing Latin,
Not while boomers still draw breath,
Because Catholic Tradition scares us all to death!
Here in our post-modernity
We’re all about Cultural Diversity
Excluding every product of the patriarchy
Most especially in sexual morality.

I think the better question would be would anyone like it? It’s just a nonsensical little ditty. It really doesn’t make a whole lot of sense now, does it? I don’t recall Christ ever calling himself the “Lord of the Dance”. If you want an Irish sounding him, I’d recommend “The King of Love, My Shepherd Is”. Makes way more sense then the goofy lyrics of “Lord of the Dance”.
 
As a guy who would like to see all music besides Gregorian chant banished, I have to admit that I LOVE THAT SONG!!! Growing up it was my all time favorite “good bye” song at Mass. It’s the kind you walk out of Mass whistling and don’t stop all day 😃
