Once upon a time, there was a televangelist named Oral Roberts.  Oral was very successful and he even had his own university in Oklahoma.  One day, Oral said that he had a vision of someone telling him that he needed to build a hospital on the campus of his university and that, of course, he would need people to send him money to help him do that.  That someone was Jesus and, according to Oral, Jesus was 900 feet tall.

Mark Griffin, a classically trained musician who had recently graduated from the University of North Texas, happened to hear what Oral said.  Griffin, who had played in several local Dallas bands, was on the verge of launching a new career as a rapper.  Griffin took the name MC 900 ft Jesus and the rest is history.

As MC 900 ft Jesus, Mark Griffin developed a strong cult following.  He still has one, even though he retired from the business in 2001.  (He had performed a few times post-retirement and there are annual rumors that he’s on the verge of making a comeback.)  If I Only Had A Brain was one of his more popular songs, thanks to this music video from Spike Jonze.

Enjoy!
