When I was a metalhead back in the day I would have laughed and said "Stupid Christians, how dare they blaspheme Black sabbath, STONE THEM!!!!!!!!!" But it would have got me thinking about Jesus. There was a sabbath song, "After Forever" and a Metallica song "creeping death" that got me thinking about God and the Bible. The sad thing was noone came around trying to reach me except the JW, LDS, and scientologists.
There is also some gospel version of the song It's Now or Never, first sung by Elvis and later by actor John Schneider. What is funny is that we had a fairly UC pastor who used to sing it and probably had know idea of the musics origins since he was a HUGE proponent of not doing something if it was too much like something else we shouldn't do, sometimes going 3 or more levels deep!
Talk about rewriting lyrics! These guys are pros at it:

"Many Christians do not try to understand what was written in a verse in the Bible. Instead they approach the passage to prove what they already believe."
"Devil Went Down to Jordan" is the definition of why good songs should be allowed to stand on their own and not be "Christianized".
The devil has, and always will, go to Georgia!

These guys also redid Bohemian Rhapsody, calling it Bethlehem Rhapsody -- David fighting Goliath.
MOE THAN A HEALING from More than a Feeling. lol
