Spirit in the sky is correct
As for artist(s), that depends on where we are in time:
1970 - Norman Greenbaum (contemporary on top lists with The Beatles 'Let it be'
1986 - Dr & the Medics (contemporary with Cliff Richard 'Living doll'

that is one of those songs that is also engraved on my soul. And I was away for the weekend. Damn. Can't stand the song, the theology of it is a bit suspect for my taste, too. The guy Greenbaum changed his name to Green for a while but it didn't catch on.
But the song was one of the turning points of my life.
