* IntercourseWithYou: "Baptize Me" is so loaded double entendre and smooth orchestration that it really sounds like it's about Elder Cunningham and Nabalungi's anticipation of sex with each other. The baptism itself ramps it up even more; Cunningham and Nabulungi go behind a sheet and are framed in silhouette like it's a SexyDiscretionShot, and her loud cry of delight as he does the actual baptism is purposely made to sound like TheImmodestOrgasm.

** "Turn it Off" is an even worse example: the StepfordSmiler Elders have an upbeat melody to which they sing about growing up with an abusive father, a sister dying of cancer, and repressed homosexuality. However, that's the point: it's about how the Mormons' "trick" is to just pretend those bad feelings aren't there.

** [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Book_of_Mormon_(musical)#Accusations_of_racism_and_script_revisions In 2021,]] some of the lyrics were revised in a two-week workshop of the original cast and crew amidst concerns that the original show's depiction of the Ugandan villagers was cartoonishly backwards to the point of being racist. The most notable changes include:
*** The RunningGag (present in several songs) about Nabulungi using a typewriter to send "texts" is changed to her having an [=iPad=] that she uses to make Facebook posts, changing the joke from the villagers not understanding modern technology to social media being used to spread misinformation. This has the dual effect of making the joke more topical as this became a much more hot button issue in the 2020s than it was in the 2010s.
*** Continuing from the above, "Hasa Diga Eebowai" has a new line where Mtumbo says he learned that "the cure for aids is raping a baby" from a Facebook post.
*** Price's lines in the final confrontation with General Butt Fucking Naked are given to Nabulungi to make it clearer that the villagers are standing up to their oppressor rather than the missionaries acting as pure white saviors.
*** "I Am Africa" had its lyrics adjusted to make the missionaries look more obviously buffoonish and the villagers more obviously annoyed.

Mafala laughs and says that the nearest police are in Kampala, which is a two-day drive away. The village itself seems to have no local formal law enforcement.

** In "Spooky Mormon Hell Dream", Elder Price dreams that Jesus calls him a dick for abandoning Elder Cunningham (and for lying that his brother ate a maple-glazed donut when Price was five years old). Later in the same song, without referencing it beforehand, Price says "I can't believe Jesus called me a dick!"
