A while ago an American artist actually made a life-size Jesus out of chocolate & exhibited it (as far as I remember) in A New York shop window. Various prominent Christians frothed at the mouth. I think Tom Waits only got away with this one because the religious nuts didn't know about it. I wonder if the artist was inspired by this song? Must have been, surely? I don't know what happened to the real chocolate Jesus, maybe he got eaten. "Pour him over ice cream for a nice parfait" - love it! Is that blasphemy or is it blasphemy?
