The first Sunday in Utah was in 1847 when Brigham Young proclaimed from what is now the mouth of East Canyon SLC, This Is The Place?

Every day since that day It’s Always Sunday In Utah, the consummate description of life behind the Zion Curtain

35 years ago, Gary Hendrickson released the song Sunday In Utah with his LP Hendrickson: Maestro

A satirical poke at the predominant Utah culture in the 80′ and their Sunday rituals

Lyrics (Explicit)

Junior sucks his lollypop while mommy combs his hair, Daddy starts the station wagon, soon they will be there,
On these streets of Hallowed ground, the masses will walk by, To go to church and come right back for a slice of Christ on rye.

It’s Sunday in Utah my God it’s here again.
If I ever missed a Sunday I just can’t remember when.

Monday on through Saturday just really ain’t that bad, When Sunday morning rolls  around I feel like I’ve been had,

If you don’t play along, in their gun sights you’ll be posed, You can’t run, you can’t hide, on Sunday the city’s closed.

It’s Sunday in Utah my God it’s here again.
If I ever missed a Sunday I just can’t remember when.
It’s Sunday in Utah my God it’s here again.

Can’t believe it’s here again, six days have passed the Sunday’s gas, If I had an ounce  of Since, I’d waste the day and smoke it,

It’s Sunday in Utah Again – you’d better fucking believe it!

Junior sucks his lollypop while mommy combs his hair, Daddy starts the station wagon, soon they will be there,
On these streets of Hallowed ground, the masses will walk by, To go to church and come right back for a slice of Christ on rye.

It’s Sunday in Utah my God it’s here again.
If I ever missed a Sunday I just can’t remember when. It’s Sunday in Utah my God it’s here again.
