Cousin against cousin, killer against preacher in this mashup of Jerry Lee Lewis' "Milwaukee, Here I Come" and Jimmy Swaggart's "Alcohol: America's Greatest Problem." Lewis recorded this mock-gospel tune at the height of his country comeback in 1969. In the lyrics, he pits himself against George Jones in a rivalry for the affections of the female vocalist, Linda Gail Lewis (who happens to be Jerry Lee's sister). Jimmy Swaggart's "Alcohol" was televised from Indianapolis in 1988. In the sermon, Swaggart references Lewis' 1968 song "What Made Milwaukee Famous (Made a Loser Out of Me)."
