Members of Salt Lake City's First Unitarian Church show off their smooth dance moves and cool sunglasses in this 2023 music video based on the 1986 song "The Future's So Bright, I Gotta Wear Shades" by rock band Timbuk 3.

We got a cool old church
With a cool old steeple
Open the door and see all the people
Things are going great and they’re only getting better
We’re doing alright, making the grade
The future’s so bright, we gotta wear shades
We gotta wear shades

Gotta an old professor
His name is Ed
Our walls are white and our carpet is red
Things are going great and they’re only getting better
We’re doing alright, making the grade
The future’s so bright, we gotta wear shades
We gotta wear shades

[instrumental break]

We got a new minister
Who's so big hearted
They’ve made their mark
And they're just getting started
Things are going great and they’re only getting better
We’re doing alright, making the grade
The future’s so bright, we gotta wear shades
We gotta wear shades

[instrumental break]

We’ve been around since 1891
We’re changing and growing
And we’ve just begun
Things are going great and they’re only getting better
We’re doing alright, making the grade
The future’s so bright, we gotta wear shades
We gotta wear shades
We gotta wear shades
We gotta wear shades
