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?
