Praise the Lord and Pass the Ammunition – The Ammoland Shooting News and Directory Theme Song
Manasquan, NJ –-(Ammoland.com)- We enjoy the sentiment in this song and its fitting title in regards to the Ammoland News and Business Directory.
Some back ground on the song: “Praise the Lord and Pass the Ammunition”; was written by Frank Loesser and recorded by Kay Kyser and his Orchestra, released in 1943 on Columbia records. According to the song a chaplain (“sky pilot”) was with some fighting men who were being attacked by an enemy. (Generally given at the time to be the Japanese at Pearl Harbor.)
He was asked to say a prayer for the men who were engaged in the firing at the on-coming Japanese planes. The chaplain; the song went on to infer, put down his bible, manned one of the ship’s gun turrets and begin firing back, saying, “Praise The Lord and pass the ammunition”.
