Millions of social media users mock the Munich singers as a naive church choir. However, the "Go Sing Choir" is a very cosmopolitan project, and leader Jens Junker was well aware of the sexual allusions in "Like A Prayer".

Choir director Jens Junker knows how to handle crowds. He got a few thousand visitors to the Tollwood Festival to sing "Give Peace A Chance" in the summer, and he sang "Nothing Else Matters" with the football fans at the big European Championship fan festival in the Olympic Park. In multiple voices!

But right now the founder of the Go Sing Choir is dealing with a crowd that he can no longer control, let alone direct: the mockers on social media channels. A two-year-old video in which the spontaneously participating choir sings the pop song "Like A Prayer" by Madonna is currently going viral. A shitstorm – "and big time," as Junker says with a groan.

On Wednesday a week ago, the world was still in order. Junker woke up with the good feeling that he would soon be going on his first small tour with the Go Sing Choir, which was founded seven years ago. For the "Christmas Special" he wants to rehearse John Lennon's "Happy X-Mas (War Is Over)" with hundreds of participants, not only at the band's headquarters, the Strom Club in Munich, but also in Cologne, Regensburg and Nuremberg. A little more exposure in the new locations wouldn't hurt.

But what he then discovered was definitely too much attention. On the GSC YouTube channel, he found a few messages about the video they had recorded on December 17, 2022 in the foyer of the Munich Isarphilharmonie. In English, it said something like: "Do they really know what the song is about?"

Yes, Junker knows it, and he probably made a few jokes about it on singalong night, as usual. He can still remember that "Like A Prayer" caused a scandal in 1989. Madonna, who was raised Catholic, sings about how you can love Jesus like a human being; in the video in a church, she plays with Christian and sexual symbols. And even though she herself has never publicly confirmed it, lines like "on my knees" and "take you there" lead to the conclusion that Madonna is alluding to oral sex.

Many people on the Internet are quite sure of this. And they are also sure, or simply claim, that a MAGA church choir is now appropriating this song: "Madonna really fooled the next generation of Gen-Z Christians," was probably written above the original video of the hypocritical wave of outrage, as Junker has researched.

Presumably the mini-influencer DailyVines posted it and probably deleted it again soon, but the launch of this thread called "Red Hat Anthem" resulted in more than 1,500 videos reacting to it on Tiktok within a few days; the mockery of Ethan Trace alone ("Are they so sheltered or just stupid?") was clicked on ten million times.

It seems that the GoSingChoir version of Madonna's 'Like a Prayer' unintentionally went viral – BIG TIME. Hello to everyone joining us from TikTok and Instagram lately! Here's what happened: A snippet from this video was uploaded to TikTok, claiming that we are a "Church Choir" blissfully unaware of the song's sexual undertones. The result? Absolute madness: Thousands of videos worldwide, tens of millions of views, and uncountable comments mocking this supposed "church choir" Fun fact:  GO SING CHOIR is literally the opposite! We're a secular, open pop choir where EVERYONE is welcome – no matter who you are, where you're from, or how you live. Singing, celebrating, and connecting people is what we're all about. Of course we were aware of the double meanings in Madonna's iconic song, which stirred controversy already 35 years ago. And by the way: the alleged „church" is called „Gasteig" - one of Europes largest cultural centers. So, what's next?
 Let's embrace this unexpected and absurd wave of attention with humor and use it as an opportunity to unite even more people through the joy of singing – hopefully a small step toward bridging societal divides  Want to help set the record straight? You can like this comment, share the video, subscribe to our channels, or simply spread the word. Much appreciated And for anyone curious about the real GO SING CHOIR experience: Our Xmas Tour in Germany kicks off soon! Come join us – and yes, we might sing „Like a Prayer" again With love and laughter, 
GO SING CHOIR

INTERNET SHOCKED: Choirs can be FUN and are allowed to sing more than just church songs?!

Annoying American TikTok personality thinks he is smarter than the choir leader who actively decided to sing Madonna's Like A Prayer and is in fact familar with the song's lyrics. More at 5.
