This is a video from GodTube.com the 'fastest growing internet phenomenon' which also happens to be a Christian video channel.
We just might get engaged
When we finish reading this page
Cuz it's worn and it's torn
And I know this girl's reborn
So ladies (yeah), ladies (yeah)
Do you wanna save people from Hades (yeah) Then read it...'til the pages fall out
Even white preachers got to shout
Baby got Book
What I want to know is do people seriously like this stuff? Do kids honestly listen to those 'lyrics' and say 'Yes! Jesus is so cool and this song proves it. I'm going to convert right now!!!'. One comment on the video suggests the answer is 'Yes':

I think you'll find that yes, this stuff works! Remembering I used to be a leader/preacher in a born again movement - our kids back then loved our version of a Blink 182 song - "woo hoo, now we're living for Jesus..."
Our kids would rock out at Youth Church Services with heavy guitars, wicked bass lines, break dancing, rapping, you name it, there was something for everyone. And they'd have fun and then would bring their friends. Then they'd bring their friends...
Youth Alive can sell out the Entertainment Centre three nights in a row - many internationally acclaimed bands can't do that.
Not saying I believe in it all now, but to answer your question - yes, changing the words to secular songs and making them Godly brings people to church, and most of them stay there.
