Yes, I was aware of it but it would only be known to people who had actually seen a full film version or theatrical version or who bought
one of the various discs (concept disc and several discs of the stage show casts) of Jesus Christ Superstar. Thus the parody context would not be understood by the majority of people. Perhaps it still stands on its own merits. Or perhaps seeing the parody, some people may look for the original on the internet. Although there is no full version of Jesus Christ Superstar on the YouTube there are videos of the individual songs in the context of the films, stage shows, original concept disc and several cast discs.

Guilty on all counts Stefan.

Bought original album, went to West End show and have DVD of the film.

I wish I could have seen this girl live though.

Do you think that BDB knows that in addition to his main work (performing with Deep Purple) Ian Gillan sang the role of Jesus in the original recording of Jesus Christ Superstar.
