You know, this is disgusting. They are parodying something without getting the meaning of the original song. The men in this band haven't felt what the original song is all about. The song isn't just a meaningless pop hit. It's an expression of frustration with smug people like this who don't know what it's like to face down a dark night of the soul. I know I'm sounding like a whiny teen here, but they don't get it. And I don't think they ever will.
@ThatPunkGuy13 you do know these guys are speaking about Jesus, also think about this. these guys had to PARODY the originals so that means they had to read and understand it.
@jeasusfreak34988 i agree, this world doesnt mind drugs, lust, satan, but when it comes to jesus we are sooo apposed we go out of our way to destroy it
Chorus needed some work still - it seemed a bit off.
Also, I was a little disappointed that it was only 1 Cor 13, and not the general flow of the book. I suppose it's all most people would know of 1 Cor, but still =/
alrighty then, people. can we stop arguing about ApologetiX vs. Weird Al (both of whom I love) and just listen to the song if we like it and not listen if we don't??? i don't get why everyone's arguing!
@YESHUAISMERCIFUL Apologetix is a really down to earth band with a solid grasp of scripture and a love for the Word (and the God of the Word). Every song is focused on something from scripture and often (like nearly every song) they will tell you exact chapter and verse AS THEY SING. (re-watch the video and read the lyrics --- they are taken straight from 1st Corinthians 13 just as they say in the song itself.) Apolegetix really is a band worth listening to.
Yes the lyrics are clever, but they had to know the original song to do the parody in the first place, meaning that they fill their heads with immoral garbage, first, then take music played for a man's fame, not God's and change the words. That is not Christian at all. It is a weak attempt to take from the table of devils, and the table of the LORD, we are commanded against this in 1 Corinthians 10:21, and this band has made a career of it.
@jsfdude 1If I speak in the tongues[a] of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. 2If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. 3If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames,[b] but have not love, I gain nothing. 4Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. :)
@jsfdude all of these covers make me want to go on a killing spree of reterded babies while raping their mothers and killing their fathers, robbing their houses, destroying their cities
and are you sure destroying the city is the best way to go? I mean its redudent steal there stuff then destroy most of it? not alot of sense to me mad
@FrenchSongsM yea i have no clue, i must apologize to all you hardcore christians and even the non hardcore ones i commented that a while ago when i didint really care about other people but i have discovered my real self and now i just feel bad for being like that :/
weird al parodies lots of songs and no one gets mad and says that he ruins a song but if someone parodies it to christian lyrics why do people get hateful, mad, and mean
@jesusfreak34988 Because Christian Parodies are lame. I am a Christian, and I just feel like it makes us look lame. People see Weird Al, and laugh, we're not looking for laughs though, that's why.
@bordozmusic no actually they are not I have learned tons of things from them that I would have never known or at least it would have been alot harder to learn had I not listened to apologetix ..music teaches and also ..it is a great way to give people Christ honoring lyrics and show those who listen to music that does not do such that Christians have fun too ...most people say they listen to the music for its sound anyways not the lyrics ...but surprisingly enough they know just as many lyrics
@bordozmusic You must be one of those Christians without a sense of humor. It takes a lot of work to be able to replicate a song with as much accuracy as ApologetiX musters. ApologetiX also does write funny songs, but their focus is on saving the lost and educating Christians.
@ChristianMusician85 I don't even know what that is supposed to mean, no sense of humor. No, I am just not a Christian who believes to be one, you have to listen to music that says Jesus in it, especially not terrible parodies. Weird Al is actually funny. We can differ, and what not. All I am saying is, this is not my cup of tea, but I don't think I am any less of a Christian. If that's okay with you. No point in arguing. It just seems like, when things like this are done, we get made
@ChristianMusician85 of. But no matter. i am glad you have found this to save you. And I'm sorry, it's not hard to replicate something with accuracy like this. You follow the tabs, and find words that rhyme. Especially with rock songs. Where most of those are simplistic lyrics, and rhymes.
@bordozmusic I'm guessing you're not a musician. Forgive me if I'm wrong, but your words don't sound like they're coming from a musician. First of all, Weird Al and his band transcribe all the songs by ear. I think ApologetiX does the same. Have you ever looked at tabs? They don't tell you anything except for what fret and string are played. They don't tell you the rhythm, or how to play the song at all. You have to listen to the song for countless hours to be able to play it accurately...
@bordozmusic from the tabs. Plus, you have to be a good musician to be able to replicate it exactly. You have to know what kind of guitar/keyboard/drums are being used, what settings, what amps are being used...all of these things and more go into recreating a song to sound like the original. Plus, it's not just writing new lyrics to old songs...you have to be able to do it well, which is what J. Jackson and "Weird Al" does. J. Jackson has written funny parodies, too. But that's not his purpose.
@bordozmusic Also, I never said I was saved by ApologetiX. I was a Christian for a long time before discovering them. I just said that's one of their missions. These are actual songs you can give an unsaved friend that would do better than actual Christian songs you hear on the radio. You should subscribe to their fan club (even though you're not a fan). With their newsletters, they include many testamonies of people being saved by their ministry.
@bordozmusic I kinda agree. This one is not too bad, to the extent it's not a parody. Someone told me P.O.D. reminds them of Linkin Park. I like P.O.D.
the first time i heard this was on a FF9 video, there were a lot of people talking how this is a stupid song, so after too much of it the user removed the video, im glad i found it again ^^
This is a great video!people who disagrees with this video should just close the window and stop acting cool and rebellious,seeking attention from righteous christians
what is it with people and going onto some video and bashing it just cuz they don't like it....if you don't like this then go listen to Linkin Park....
This is a very inspiring song...but I have to admit that I got a chuckle out of the random lines about Paul that were inserted into the song that seem a little congruous: "Buddy, Paul wrote that to Corinthians"; "That Paul fella's smart."
Overall, this was pretty good but I liked the second verse better than the first. The second verse he quoted pretty much verbatim 1 Corinthians chapter 13.
I love this song. While it doesn't have the same musical quality as Linkin Park, I enjoy this as I enjoy many other Apologetix songs. Thanks for posting the lyrics!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
This is a very crappy video. The instrumental is crap, and the vocals are terrible. The choice of vernacular and your timing is way off.
With the musical critique out of the way, I also have to say that if you alter lyrics to a song, you should give full notice of the original authors of the music, which you didn't. This video is thereby illegal.
Also, when you do something like this, the lyrics should actually mean something, and shouldn't be your attempt at converting people.
Actually, this is a song by a real band. The song was realeased a few years back. Apologetix is a Christian parody group. So it's not illegal. He didn't make this song. He credited the band at the end. :)
I think this song is very claver, personally. I really like it.
I really don't see how it can be considered clever. Any body can change the lyrics for a song and leave the music intact.
My point was simply that (and I should've posted this first) perverting a popular song to suit your needs or wants is kinda lame. If they want respect as a band, they should write their own material.
It is not perversion, people may not see it as clever, but not perversion. They are writing their own material. Science is built on changing theories and developing new things from existing technology. These parodies are trying to prove a point, bring hope, bring joy, and share God's LOVE with the world.
1. Parodies are not subject to normal copyright law. This video is not illegal.
2. Let's see you do better.
3. Converting people? This is about LOVE. But even if it had the gospel in it, how is that devoid of meaning? Just because YOU do not appreciate it does not mean it has no value.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Wow, so fucking witty. Where did you ever come up with that?
1. The "parody" sucks anyways. Bad music, bad lyrics, bad timing=bad
2. I have done better, frequently I might add, since I am a member of a band that makes it's own music and doesn't just steal other people's shit.
3. No christian song is ever about love, especially this one. Christian songs are about being one with God and denouncing those things that allow sin into your life.
2. No you haven't done better. I promote music for a living, man, and I can tell you that even someone who goes flat but sings with love sounds better than a master musician full of vitriol. (To be fair, I'm willing to listen to your stuff.)
3. ...and it don't rain in Indianapolis in the summertime. Listen to the lyrics, man. Or better yet, read 1 Corinthians 13 and see for yourself what we're all about.
Well, if you're gonna try to dennounce my claim by making a claim of your own, then you need to prove it too.
See, I'm not into having idiotic arguements with people over stupid videos, so I'm done here. If you can possibly come up with something that proves this is "good", maybe I'll give it a chance. But it completely sucks in my opinion.
you are overreacting,this is a great song and it has nothing to do with you,it is legal and dont try to denouce them claiming we are denoucing you.i bet you are just seeking attention and acting cool and rebellious trying to get attention by scolding music that has nothing to do with you,people enjoy and are legal
You saying that Christians songs are nothing about love rips at my soul. How could you possibly say that. Christianity is trying to become more like Christ who showed us ultimate love, dying for your sins. This message is a message of love and hope and there are many more if you look for them. Christian beliefs are foolishness to non-believers. I cant blame you if you don't believe or shove the gospel down your throat. That is not what God is about. It is about a relationship of love and faith.
they just ruined this song for me this song suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuucks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I usually love ApologetiX, but this is just... not good. The original song is amazing and this is good, don't get me wrong, but it just isn't as good as it could have been.
you see i storngly beleave that you can listen to non-christian music and be strong i crist too i listen to Demon hunter and bullet for my vallentine its all about how much you trust yourself and god if god didnt put my best bud in my life id like more than 3 slipknot songs he keeps me acountable so i can listen to atrayu and still know that if skrew up my buds guna step up and say yo watch out if you dont have acountability then get it is changes your walk
You can, but it depends on the words really if it is right or not. If the song is talking about how they want to get a girl, no, if it's talking about violence or anything violent, no, curse words, no. I don't listen to any non-Christian music because I don't want to be set astray or get anything in front of Christ in my life. If you look at something or someone and love it more than God, I'm afraid that Christ isn't first in their life.
cool same here! my stepmom and i only listen to Christian music, and she used to know carl in the apolagetix band!!!!!!! i dont think people will believe me though lol.
Really? Only Christian music because you don't want to be led astray? Rock is the devil's music, right? See, you should be a little bit more open minded, because it doesn't matter what the bands genre is, but what matters is if the music speaks to you.
I'm an agnostic, for example, but I love Red and Flyleaf and Skillet, because although they themselves are christian, they're music is universal.
I don't really listen to only Christian music for just that reason, but also because i love it, and i'm just not too crazy about the others. There are a bunch of songs i like that don't have to do with Christianity though. Also, I don't think rock is the devil's music.
Rock isn't devil's music,but heavy metal is surely,people recorded metal songs and play it backwards and it it mocking Christ,i hope one day the world will be free from heavy metal's drugs,violence,gore and sex......And they are real ugly!
dumbass go look up stryper and demon hunter they're christian metal and there's a lot more heavy metal bands out there that aren't satanic. Most heavy metal bands are actually aware that there is a God
God does not say that metal is a sin. The messages are clearly not Godly. God wants us to make a decision to remove what causes us to sin. We listen to sinners all the time. But can we turn things around for God's glory? Christian metal bands may have done just that.
@mcbac508 Good job, targeting someone who completely forgot this video existed, since he posted on it a year ago.
Hmm...again, I don't like the music because it is "Christian." I like it because it is good. That is the distinction here. The bands that I listen to that some consider "Christian" are simply to my tastes.
Let me guess, mcbac508, you're taste in music is impeccable, right? You only listen to THE most original artists, amirite?
Accountability is good. I beleive that you can listen to non-Christian music. You cannot say that techno or just plum crazy songs are bad because they do not glorify God. Time may change your opinion about listening to some songs because of the messages they bring. God says to guard your heart. If people see you listening to a certain song will they question if you are living for God. I pray that you can live an example for your friends. Pray, Live, Tell, Serve, and Give. Have faith. God Bless.
@Nezbire hey bud, i just want you to know that you have literally written the funniest youtube comment i have ever read. I hope you and your buds keep it real, and if you find crist hard enough you can probably listen to a whole slipnought album and not give too craps, keep rollin in them revalations.
I like this stuff. It's got a good message and cool music. The original I thought was cool, except the lyrics...cause music is more than the sound of it...it's also about the message it conatains.
(shrugs) I don't know the members of Linkin Park. I do know Apologetix.
If you start dissin' other artists on YouTube and saying you're better, then yeah. You prove it on YouTube or you don't exist.
Just to prove my point, I asked around and asked people who they'd prefer to listen to. They said that if your level of uncouth comes through in your music, they'd rather listen to Halfshell Hero, who tends to go flat on occasion, but sings with love.
When did I say I was better? I said the original was better, and there is far more out there that is better. This band is not to my liking, not only because they bastardize other people's songs, but because they just aren't very good.
I don't know who you are asking, but I don't care. I'd rather listen to people who not only love what they do, but are good at it.
It's not "bastardizing", it's "parody". Learn the difference.
Yes they are good.
If you'd rather not listen to Apologetix, then don't! Nobody forced you to. All you have to do is leave. Instead, you hang around making a total *ahem* of yourself.
Hmm, so I did...my bad. But still, they leave much to be desired in the skill department. His rapping is off beat, and just seems like he's trying to be cool instead of getting his point across. And a parody is a bastardization. Look it up in the dictionary, I just did.
Further more, I listened to this song once, and decided not to judge them based solely on this, and listened to more. The only reason I'm still here, is because you keep replying.
You know, this is disgusting. They are parodying something without getting the meaning of the original song. The men in this band haven't felt what the original song is all about. The song isn't just a meaningless pop hit. It's an expression of frustration with smug people like this who don't know what it's like to face down a dark night of the soul. I know I'm sounding like a whiny teen here, but they don't get it. And I don't think they ever will.

This is a very inspiring song...but I have to admit that I got a chuckle out of the random lines about Paul that were inserted into the song that seem a little congruous: "Buddy, Paul wrote that to Corinthians"; "That Paul fella's smart."

This is a very crappy video. The instrumental is crap, and the vocals are terrible. The choice of vernacular and your timing is way off.
With the musical critique out of the way, I also have to say that if you alter lyrics to a song, you should give full notice of the original authors of the music, which you didn't. This video is thereby illegal.
Also, when you do something like this, the lyrics should actually mean something, and shouldn't be your attempt at converting people.
th3enigma 3 years ago
Actually, this is a song by a real band. The song was realeased a few years back. Apologetix is a Christian parody group. So it's not illegal. He didn't make this song. He credited the band at the end. :)
I think this song is very claver, personally. I really like it.
VGMaster914 3 years ago 2
I really don't see how it can be considered clever. Any body can change the lyrics for a song and leave the music intact.
My point was simply that (and I should've posted this first) perverting a popular song to suit your needs or wants is kinda lame. If they want respect as a band, they should write their own material.
th3enigma 3 years ago
It is not perversion, people may not see it as clever, but not perversion. They are writing their own material. Science is built on changing theories and developing new things from existing technology. These parodies are trying to prove a point, bring hope, bring joy, and share God's LOVE with the world.
23rootbeer 2 years ago
Three points, Th3enema:
1. Parodies are not subject to normal copyright law. This video is not illegal.
2. Let's see you do better.
3. Converting people? This is about LOVE. But even if it had the gospel in it, how is that devoid of meaning? Just because YOU do not appreciate it does not mean it has no value.

Wow, so fucking witty. Where did you ever come up with that?
1. The "parody" sucks anyways. Bad music, bad lyrics, bad timing=bad
2. I have done better, frequently I might add, since I am a member of a band that makes it's own music and doesn't just steal other people's shit.
3. No christian song is ever about love, especially this one. Christian songs are about being one with God and denouncing those things that allow sin into your life.
th3enigma 3 years ago
1. Millions of people disagree.
2. No you haven't done better. I promote music for a living, man, and I can tell you that even someone who goes flat but sings with love sounds better than a master musician full of vitriol. (To be fair, I'm willing to listen to your stuff.)
3. ...and it don't rain in Indianapolis in the summertime. Listen to the lyrics, man. Or better yet, read 1 Corinthians 13 and see for yourself what we're all about.

Well, if you're gonna try to dennounce my claim by making a claim of your own, then you need to prove it too.
See, I'm not into having idiotic arguements with people over stupid videos, so I'm done here. If you can possibly come up with something that proves this is "good", maybe I'll give it a chance. But it completely sucks in my opinion.
th3enigma 3 years ago
you are overreacting,this is a great song and it has nothing to do with you,it is legal and dont try to denouce them claiming we are denoucing you.i bet you are just seeking attention and acting cool and rebellious trying to get attention by scolding music that has nothing to do with you,people enjoy and are legal
vamtire 2 years ago
You saying that Christians songs are nothing about love rips at my soul. How could you possibly say that. Christianity is trying to become more like Christ who showed us ultimate love, dying for your sins. This message is a message of love and hope and there are many more if you look for them. Christian beliefs are foolishness to non-believers. I cant blame you if you don't believe or shove the gospel down your throat. That is not what God is about. It is about a relationship of love and faith.

Nezbire 3 years ago
You can, but it depends on the words really if it is right or not. If the song is talking about how they want to get a girl, no, if it's talking about violence or anything violent, no, curse words, no. I don't listen to any non-Christian music because I don't want to be set astray or get anything in front of Christ in my life. If you look at something or someone and love it more than God, I'm afraid that Christ isn't first in their life.

Really? Only Christian music because you don't want to be led astray? Rock is the devil's music, right? See, you should be a little bit more open minded, because it doesn't matter what the bands genre is, but what matters is if the music speaks to you.
I'm an agnostic, for example, but I love Red and Flyleaf and Skillet, because although they themselves are christian, they're music is universal.
th3enigma 3 years ago
I don't really listen to only Christian music for just that reason, but also because i love it, and i'm just not too crazy about the others. There are a bunch of songs i like that don't have to do with Christianity though. Also, I don't think rock is the devil's music.

God does not say that metal is a sin. The messages are clearly not Godly. God wants us to make a decision to remove what causes us to sin. We listen to sinners all the time. But can we turn things around for God's glory? Christian metal bands may have done just that.

Hmm...again, I don't like the music because it is "Christian." I like it because it is good. That is the distinction here. The bands that I listen to that some consider "Christian" are simply to my tastes.
Let me guess, mcbac508, you're taste in music is impeccable, right? You only listen to THE most original artists, amirite?

mcbac508 1 year ago
Accountability is good. I beleive that you can listen to non-Christian music. You cannot say that techno or just plum crazy songs are bad because they do not glorify God. Time may change your opinion about listening to some songs because of the messages they bring. God says to guard your heart. If people see you listening to a certain song will they question if you are living for God. I pray that you can live an example for your friends. Pray, Live, Tell, Serve, and Give. Have faith. God Bless.

(shrugs) I don't know the members of Linkin Park. I do know Apologetix.
If you start dissin' other artists on YouTube and saying you're better, then yeah. You prove it on YouTube or you don't exist.
Just to prove my point, I asked around and asked people who they'd prefer to listen to. They said that if your level of uncouth comes through in your music, they'd rather listen to Halfshell Hero, who tends to go flat on occasion, but sings with love.
BTW, YOU started the "idiotic argument".
Orenotter 3 years ago
When did I say I was better? I said the original was better, and there is far more out there that is better. This band is not to my liking, not only because they bastardize other people's songs, but because they just aren't very good.
I don't know who you are asking, but I don't care. I'd rather listen to people who not only love what they do, but are good at it.

You said you were better. Scroll down.
It's not "bastardizing", it's "parody". Learn the difference.
Yes they are good.
If you'd rather not listen to Apologetix, then don't! Nobody forced you to. All you have to do is leave. Instead, you hang around making a total *ahem* of yourself.
Orenotter 3 years ago
Hmm, so I did...my bad. But still, they leave much to be desired in the skill department. His rapping is off beat, and just seems like he's trying to be cool instead of getting his point across. And a parody is a bastardization. Look it up in the dictionary, I just did.
Further more, I listened to this song once, and decided not to judge them based solely on this, and listened to more. The only reason I'm still here, is because you keep replying.
