is that the one with the very upbeat song about Zacchaeus in the sycamore tree?
I liked that zingin’ one about the tribes. the twelve tribes, it was.
edit: just listened to it, not so much zingin’ as plodding
Rose tinted glasses lads, don’t go and listen to them now because they are fucking trash.
Circle of Friends, a right classic.
A fella in my class got a slap of that book in the back of the head off our alcoholic teacher, it was about 500 pages in those days, the lad got a serious face plant into the desk because he was leaning down laughing.
Body clock! Was a bit secular for Alive O, probably how it became my favourite
The intro of course; “A *hippy drums* L *hippy drums* I-V-E-O, A-L-I-V-E-O Aliveooooo…. 5 *hippy drums continue*”
OK, obviously I googled the songs.
Lads, were we in a cult?
Everyone is wrong, by the way. The Apostles is the best song.
PTSD intensifies
‘I’ve got a body clock, listen to my body clock.
I’ve got a body clock. Listen. LISTEN.’

“Go tell everyone” class tune, lyrics could be used for a pagan metal song as well haha
Take off your shoes, you’re standing on Holy ground
The one about going on journeys (I can’t remember much more about it).
Twelve Tribes, no question. Easily one of the best rock songs ever created.
I didn’t even know that I remember this until I saw this post. I can vividly remember singing circle of friends.
Anyone remember an Alive-O song called “Harambe”?
Whenever that gorilla died a few years ago the name brought up memories of sitting in a classroom singing “Harambe, Harambe, Harambe….Harambe, day by day”. Obviously the song’s about what the word means and not the gorilla that died 20 years later, but I’ve never found it after several half-hearted Google attempts.
King Herod of Judiaahhhhh…what a bop.
I’ve suppressed this from my brain on purpose and now you remind me of it. End me
I was part of the kids group that recorded the songs for alivo. I did some of the solo songs for alivo 1 and 2. And these threads have been cracking me up the past few days. I’d no clue they were remembered as bops.
This brings back so many memories 🥺
I went to a Gaelscoil, so we only had Beo go Deo 😔
What’s the one that was always sang at mass by the young fella with the high voice … something along the lines of “it is I lord”?
Moses you’re the man!
You got that push at the burning Bush
….
Can’t remember the rest but what a jam!
Jesus sat in the shade of a tree was a fuckin banger
my shepherd is the lord 💯💯🤞🤞
Christ Alive-O only randomly popped into my head the other day as well. The only songs I can remember are Connected, Circle of Friends, and the one that went “Moses you’re the man”
I see you guys all missed the true bangers, accessible only to those of us in a Gaelscoil. The whole thing was translated into “Beo go Deo”.
Remember the one that was like ‘I’m sorry I’m sorry I’m really very sorry. I hurt your feelings caused you pain I’d like to be your friend again’ lol it pops into my head every now and then!
I liked that one where I had to sit at my own desk at the side of the class because I’m from a Protestant family.
We had this in Scotland as well, iconic!
I just got hit with a train of nostalgia
The one about Moses, I think it’s called “Ten Commandments” I’m 29 and it still gets stuck in my head to this day
🎵 Moses you’re the maaaan
Who got the push
At the burning bush
And sent God’s people to freedoooomm
I’VE GOT A BODY CLOCK, LISTEN TO MY BODY CLOCK. LISTEN, LISTEN!
Beo-go-deo for us gaelscoil kids
Alive-o was all fun and games until the Romans nailed the baby Jesus to a Christmas tree.
I have only now learned it was from Alive-O since we sung it every year at the nativity but the King Herod song.
I wanted to be Herod in the nativity just so I could since that song. But alas the best I ever got was the innkeeper and even then my song got relegated to the assistant innkeeper since I couldn’t sing.

“Connexced” ft. Gunna
12 tribes of Isreal was a certified bop.
[any love for the Eyewitness intro nah?](https://youtu.be/Uwarhzl76D8)
Go Now in Peace
The theme song
Happy in the Presence was a proper bop
