Hilarious!
Scientology Song; "Make it go right"
http://www.churchofcriticalthinking.com/audio/makeitgoright.mp3
Featuring David Pomerantz
There are probably dozens of songs urging you to cheer up when you're having a bad day, from Bobby McFerran's "Don't Worry, Be Happy" to Monty Python's "Always Look at The Bright Side of Life." But while Bobby's examples of a bad day include the landlord saying he might have to sue you for not paying rent, and Monty Python's lyrics include the suggestion that "When you're chewing on life's gristle, Don't grumble, give a whistle!" Hubbard's song uses examples of a different kind.
"When the reg line is all broken and the meter doesn't work, When bills flood in and stats are down there is no faintest need to shirk. When the world is very crazy and nothing can survive, when atom bombs and bursting suns threaten all of us alive..."
The reg line, the meter, and stats referred to in the song are all references to one's progress in Scientology. The answer to the problem, that you just "make it go right" is one of Hubbard's doctrines, a bit of Scientology speak often repeated to his followers. Don't give me excuses. Just make it go right.
Yes, those are the actual lyrics to "Make it go Right" snip> "When the reg line is all broken and the meter doesn't work, When bills flood in and stats are down there is no faintest need to shirk. When the world is very crazy and nothing can survive, when atom bombs and bursting suns threaten all of us alive..."
Another chart stopper:
The ARC Song! http://www.churchofcriticalthinking.com/audio/thearcsong.mp3
Featuring John Travolta, Karen Black, Jeff Pomerantz, Frank Stallone, Lee Purcell, Gloria Rusch
If Scientology has a trinity, it is ARC: Affinity, Reality, and Communication. In this sweet little song, the celebrities all get together to extoll the virtues of each one. But really, after listening to the first eight songs, it's hard to take them seriously when they sing, "Reality is me, reality is you. Yay, yay, yay, we is real too." I'd say reality is one of the furthest things from these people, but whatever. And I think he means "we are real too," but I'll just chalk that up to Hubbard's obvious inability to write natural lyrics.
This sounds like another late night camp fire song, at that Scientology Summer Camp, with a few counselors leading the campers in The ARC Song. Simple lyrics, easy to learn. I can only call this song "sweet."

I can't contain myself! I just have to sing the lyrics to 'Make it Go Right":
Zblade dresses like Bobby Darin at "The Sands", brandishing a loosened tuxedo tie:
