Many songs talk about Dog. In Yiddish songs, the majority of them worship Dog.
I chose some secular ones i like for different reasons.
-James Sit Down, 1989
"I hope that God exist, I hope I pray"
I hope without praying.

-Beach Boys God only knows, 1966
"God only knows what I'd be without you"
Dog knows all your secrets, Dog is your confidant…
How do you know that Dog forgives all your sins?

- Sugar Cubes, Deus, 1988
"Deus does not exist.
But if he does, he lives in the sky above me,
In the fattest largest cloud up there.
He is whiter than white and cleaner than clean.
He wants to touch me."
Björk sang it, and later Einer, the other singer sang "He wasn't white and fluffy,
He just had side burns, …"

- The Pogues, If I Should Fall From Grace With God, 1988
"If I should fall…
Where no doctor can relieve me…"

Sex Pistols, God Save The Queen, 1977 (The first year of the Punk movement in England)
"Oh God save history
God save your mad parade
Oh Lord God have mercy
All crimes are paid"
Sensitive ears that song is not for you.

-Tricky, Dear God, 1996
A song which describes more what i feel.
"Hope you got the message, and
I pray you can make it better down here
I don't mind a big reduction in the price of beer
But all the people that you made in your image
See them starving on their feet…"

If you want to listen to them for Shabbos, i can whisper them in your ears…
And travel to your place, but shhhh…
