"Reverend Black Grape" is a song released in June 1995 by UK band Black Grape. It was the first single taken from their debut album "It's Great When You're Straight... Yeah" and peaked at #9 in the UK chart.

The song was co-producer by Danny Saber and Stephen Lironi. It was written by Shaun Ryder and released by Radioactive Records.

Controversy

The song caused controversy when released because of its assertion that the Catholic church was in league with the Nazis: "Oh Pope he got the Nazis, To clean up their messes, In exchange for gold and paintings, he gave them new addresses". In addition, the song contains a brief audio clip of Adolf Hitler at one of his rallies. The lyrics also borrow from the traditional hymn O come all ye faithful.
