"Godhopping" is a pop rock song performed by British band Dogs Die in Hot Cars, released as the first single from their debut album, Please Describe Yourself and their second single overall. Written by lead singer and guitarist Craig Macintosh, and produced by Clive Langer and Alan Winstanley, the song was released on 25 May 2004 in the United Kingdom, with a worldwide release following. "Godhopping" reached number 24 on the UK Singles Chart. The song is driven by two very special and heavily syncopated piano riffs that seem to move fast against one another; lyrically, it is about people who change their religion according to what is fashionable.[1]
