"Joseph Smith was Called a Prophet"はシーズン7のエピソード"All About Mormons"にて使用された楽曲である。

背景

この楽曲は末日聖徒イエス・キリスト教会――またの名をモルモン教で知られる宗教組織がいかにしてジョセフ・スミスにより創立されたのかを主題としている。しかしながら歌詞そのものは創立経緯および宗教組織そのものを風刺する内容である。
　楽曲中には"dumb"（※真贋（しんがん）を見極める能力のない間抜け、の意）という単語が繰り返し歌詞として登場するが、これは宗教組織の創設者であるジョセフ・スミスの言葉「神託を賜ったのちに預言書（金属板）を神から受け渡された」が、証拠不十分であり虚偽申告であった可能性が高いことを示唆している。

歌詞

Joseph Smith was called a prophet
(Dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb)
He started the Mormon religion
(Dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb).
(Dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb)
Joseph Smith was called a prophet-

(Dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb)
Many people believed Joseph
(Dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb)
And that night he-ee saw an angel
(Dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb)

(Dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb)

Joseph Smith was called a prophet
(Dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb)

(Dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb)

He found the stones and golden plates
(Dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb)
Even though nobody else ever saw them
(Dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb)

(Dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb)

(Dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb)

And that's how the Book of Mormon was written
(Dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb)
(Dumb dadumb dumb dumb dumb dumb)
(Dumb dadumb dumb dumb dumb dumb)
(Dahumb dahumb dumb dumb dumb dumb)
(Dumb dumb dumb dumb duuumb, duuumb.)

Martin went home to his wife
(Dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb)
And showed her pages from the Book of Mormon
(Dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb)

Lucy Harris smart smart smart
(Smart smart smart smart smart)

Martin Harris dumb dadumb-

Lucy Harris smart smart smart
Martin Harris dumb.
So Martin went on back to Smith
Said the pages had gone away
Smith got mad and told Martin
He needed to go pray
(Dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb)

(Dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb)

Dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb.
