Probably the only improvement that could be made to this parody would be if there were more feeling (over)poured into it.

This got me thinking – in the Christian music market, much of the truly creative, artistically excellent music rarely receives airplay on Christian music stations, in favor of blandish pap and recycled “classics”.  What would a Christian version of “Title of the Song” look like?  What might the lyrics be?  What would it sound like?  Who would record it?

Ah, the possibilities…

    A friend of mine recently said that she doesn’t listen to much Christian radio because “everything sounds like MercyMe”. They wouldn’t record it; but one of the 8,000,000 copycat bands probably would.

    The copycat band would have to add as much (over)compression as MM, though…
