Hey Rebecca, Did you catch the actual wave file of a group called the Newbies? They're singing their classic hit "Catch the Way." That's right; you guessed it: Sung to the tune of "Catch the Wave." In one word: Ouch.
Also of interest is the "hymn" section. Not only are secular songs and TV lyrics fair game, but it seems taking classic hymns and rewriting them is also a way to show your True Christian Colors (Hey! Watch out Cindy Lauper!). The (was it Gilbert's or Sullivan's) old fav "Onward Christian Soldiers," now sings as "Retreat Christian Soldiers."
Why would you want to do this, exactly?
Erin

Geez Louise! I didn't even see the TV/showtune section!! What in Aaron Spelling's name is that all about? Hey Hey Were're not Monkees?? Christian songs to the themes to Beverley Hillbillies, Gilligan's Island, and the Addamms Family? I mean those are some catchy tunes, but come on!
I think Jesus would be peeved.

Jeez, the Newbies are awful. Thanks Syrah, Rebecca and Erin. It's definitely worth a listen at high volume...if you want to clear cockroaches and mice out of your house.
I have to admit that the site is inspiring--I'm almost tempted to submit some god-awful Christian lyrics. First I need an equally awful song to get me started. Let's see: "Fuck tha Police" could become "Prince of tha Peace"; Manson's "The Dope Show" could become "We're all God stars / In the Hope Show..." Gotta think about this for a while. Anybody else interested in trying their hand at this?

I think that you are wrong ! Christian lyrics to secular songs is great and it is better then listening to that other crap anyway. If you dont like the christian lyrics then dont listen to them and dont mock them - why would you go out of your way to look for somthing you dont like. ,

geeeze tonia - i presume you are a christian by the tone of your post, right?
well, i'm not, and yeah, i laughed at the fucked up alternate lyrics, they were hideously bad. however what everyone's laughing at here is the fact that the 'rewritten' lyrics are rather pathetic - and i think it's kinder of us 'heathens' to laugh at that than the way christians presume everyone else but them is going to burn in hell or something. lighten up, cos those lyrics are a laugh.

I do this (ok not these hokey ones) but my band does drift away except the chorus is changed to
Give me your word lord
and free my soul
I wanna stand on your
rock til i'm old and drift away
other than that nearly every lyric is the same. We mainly write our on stuff but some stuff is easily fit into another genre we also do stuff like twisted sisters "we're not gonna take it" It really helps because we run a sat. night program that gives teen a free fun and safe place to hang and the other teens love it we have dancing and karaoke and it works don't knoick what you don't know okay.
And FYI alot of songs you know and might listen to were written from christian songs take for example Sweet Home Up in Heaven a old gospel song which Lynard Skynard adapted to be the famous Sweet Home Alabama or nearly 60 percent of groups like the vaselines who admit openly the often took christian music and rewrote it because it was good it just wasn't mainstream.
I do think alot the songs you're looking at are overly corny but that's not alkways the case.
