I can see it now: Just like Metalocalypse, except CHRISTIAN (TM)!

Not surprising. As South Park put it, “It’s easy to write Christian songs. Just take 20-year-old pop songs and substitute “Jesus” for “Oooooo Baby!”

Though what I heard the song was originally about a stripper doing a pole dance.

And the sock-spinning could have been worse. At least they didn’t spin them round round baby round round Jamaican-style. According to Maurice Broaddus’ blog, in Jamaica it’s common at open-air concerts to set your T-shirts on fire while spinning them around round baby round round over your head. “More Fire! More Fire!”

I was at a water park with my kids yesterday and the “real” (aka “secular”) version of this song was played over the loudspeakers. From the lyrics, it appears to be a song about a sex act.

The singing alone cracks me up.

Why don’t you guys actually step away from your computer and get up and DO something for God rather than sit here and judge everything that looks different than what you do. Your haughty stance is sickening to me.

Well, they do look to be getting a healthy work-out! Even when I used to go to rock concerts, I didn’t like being told what to do and I didn’t do it. So others would be jumping up and down and shouting and whatnot and I would just sit, watch, listen. My husband was the same way. We just were not the “active” type. Yet, now, I don’t mind sitting, standing, kneeling, professing faith on cue during the Mass.

I think many of us feel a need to belong to a “team” and to do “team” things. I go in and out of team mode myself. Sometimes, I want nothing to do with being a part of any team and I just go on by myself. But it can get lonely living that way…and unhealthy. The trick is to find a team that is healthy, supportive, loving. And to make sure that you know the Captain of the team very well!

I’m pretty sure you don’t have to have permission to perform someone’s song live. Broadcast rights and lyric projection are different.
