Just Give Me That Biblical Rock 'n' Roll
Still think rock is the devil's music? Salvation awaits online. A Christian website www.ultranet.com/~mari presents contemporary songs "re-versed" to "help the Church speak today's language." So Nirvana's nihilistic Smells Like Teen Spirit becomes the reverent Smells Like Holy Spirit, with the refrain "The Messiah/He's no liah/ Praise Him or face/Eternal Fire." Other conversions:
--Robert Palmer's Addicted to Love RE-VERSED Addicted to God
--Chumbawamba's Tubthumping RE-VERSED Biblethumping
--Queen's We Will Rock You RE-VERSED Jesus, He Will Rock You
--The Who's My Generation RE-VERSED His Resurrection
--The Animals' House of the Rising Sun RE-VERSED House of the Risen Son
--Otis Redding's (Sittin' on) the Dock of the Bay RE-VERSED Sittin' at the End of the Pew
--The Beach Boys' Surfin' U.S.A. RE-VERSED On Fire for the Lord
--Billy Joel's Only the Good Die Young RE-VERSED Only the Pure Get Blessed
--The Monkees' Hey! Hey! We're the Monkees RE-VERSED Hey! Hey! We're Not Monkeys!
--The title of the Monkees' I'm a Believer was left as is.
