<strong>the</strong> sounds in leaps and bounds flush out clowns creeps and hounds<br />

Toby Mac of DC Talk<br />

Virginia born in 1964, Tobias McKeehan’s career originated with <strong>the</strong> group DC Talk,<br />

formed at Jerry Falwell’s Liberty University in <strong>the</strong> late 1980’s.<br />

DC Talk’s attitude toward <strong>music</strong> is evident in “Time Ta Jam” from <strong>the</strong>ir 1989 debut<br />

release. It records a mocking slam of those members of <strong>the</strong> body of Christ, <strong>the</strong><br />

“hyper fundi’s” (slang for biblical fundamentalists) as <strong>the</strong>y call <strong>the</strong>m, who choose<br />

<strong>the</strong>ir <strong>music</strong> according biblical standards and not according to <strong>the</strong>ir feelings.<br />

"So hyper fundi, don’t be dismayed! Check out <strong>the</strong> lyrics when <strong>the</strong> record is played."
