I was
turned on to the band, Apologetix,
when Cowboy Bob posted one of their videos on his blog,
Stormbringer's
Thunder. I've since watched several of their videos on YouTube.
Their schtick is to parody popular songs with Biblical lyrics. Here
are some examples of their clever songs:
A
parody of an Eagle's song that talks about Mary and Joseph being
turned away at the inn: “The Hotel Can't Afford Ya.”
A
parody of a Boston song that talks about the redeeming power of
Jesus' sacrifice: “More than a Healing.”
A
parody of a Simon and Garfunkle song that talks about the missionary
works of Paul in the book of Acts: “The Sound of Silas.”
One
video has been especially popular On YouTube. Many people have
posted dramatizations of their parody of Queen's song, “The
Bohemian Rhapsody” that talks about the shepherd boy, David,
fighting the giant, Goliath. David, of course, was from Bethlehem
and the song is “The Bethlehemian Rhapsody.”
All of
the videos are a little campy but here's one that I found
entertaining.
Enjoy!!
