The song satirized the religion of Scientology, as well as its followers. At some point after its release, the video was set to private by Heidecker in order to make way for a re-recorded version, temporarily making the original version impossible to find. The lyrics of the comedy-rock song made reference to Tom Cruise, Dianetics, and the general cult-like nature of the religion.<ref>[https://skepchick.org/2013/08/tim-heideckers-ode-to-scientology/ Skepchick's article on the song.] Retrieved 23 Sep '16</ref> When originally posted, Heidecker stated that the song was musically influenced by The Kinks (specifically their work from the era in which they released ''Arthur (Or the Decline and Fall of the British Empire)''), but that this influence was not apparent in the final product.<ref>[http://dangerousminds.net/comments/tim_heideckers_musical_tribute_to_scientology Page on the original version from Dangerous Minds.] Retrieved 23 Sep '16</ref> This version received positive comments from fans and internet publications,<ref>[http://www.ifc.com/2013/10/10-best-tim-heidecker-songs IFC list of top Tim Heidecker songs.] Retrieved 23 Sep '16</ref> but was set to private sometime in 2014 with no explanation or fanfare regarding the action. After the video had been privatized for a while, Heidecker posted the re-recorded version on March 29th, 2015, with a new music video created by Vic Berger. In the description, he stated that the reason for the new version was so that it could be used in his then-upcoming album ''In Glendale'' (however, despite this comment, this track was not included on the final album). Compared with the original, the updated recording was more fleshed out with new instrumentation, additional backing vocals, and cleaner production. Still, many fans preferred the first version and became frustrated at Heidecker's insistence on keeping it privatized. The original release of the song remained missing for around a year. However, on January 19th, 2016, YouTuber FoundationsofPause reuploaded the video, putting an end to the search. Both versions of the song can be heard below. ==Gallery== {{Video|perrow =2 |service1 =youtube |id1 =6VXzVuUlHeQ |description1 =The re-recorded version, originally posted by Heidecker (reuploaded due to removal). |service2 =youtube |id2 =3I4ymRQJ6m0 |description2 =The original version, reuploaded by FoundationsofPause. }} ==External Link== *[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In_Glendale Wikipedia page for the album.] Retrieved 23 Sep '16 ==References== {{reflist}} [[Category:Found media]] [[Category:Found music]]
