The problem is that people have this myth that Emirs and VIPs are some kind of angels or Jesi (plural of Jesus Christ may peace be upon Muhammad and him.)

Broadside (NYC), from whom this version comes, reports that it apparently originated from a commercial jingle put on the radio in Georgia by a firm manufacturing plastic 'Jesi'." There are many versions with many verses, but it is a cool concept, and can't be THAT old, so I'm surprised the origins are difficult to trace.

However -- the weight differential between the two Christs was not taken into account and, when the cross was supposed to rise up. Well. It went flying up into the flies. Members of the audience probably got whiplashed... The play did not go on that night because two Jesi were hospitalized.

The version is attributed to Ernie Marrs, although the notes indicate that no one really knows the origins of the song. Speculation is that it may have been an advertising jingle for someone selling plastic "Jesi"(?!).
