Absolutely hilarious! Was that Greg Brady on the drums? I see a praise dude, but no praise babe. I will need more convincing. The praise dude sang that the message is still the same. "I tried to run hide, but Jesus came and found me and he touched me down inside." Uhhh. "He is like a mounty; he always gets his man. And he'll zap you anyway he can. Zap!!" Uhhh. The tune is very catchy, no argument there. It just sounds too VBS for me. Not something that blends well with the historic liturgy of the church.

The one guitarist is doing the same thing most of the CCM ska bands do... granted, the vox are quite a bit cornier. If you really are digging the sound I could hook you up with some band names from my high school days.

Funny and disturbing; mostly the latter. I'm sure glad I didn't grow up with that kind of music.
There are CCM ska bands? I've heard of polka mass, and metal mass, and I've seen your basic praise band performing Christian radio hits, but I'm still waiting for grunge church. That I might actually like.

Actually, there were some "Christian ska" bands. Most noteworthy were The O.C. Supertones, the Insyderz, and Five Iron Frenzy.
Of those three, FIF were my favorites because they were goofy, lyrically.
The very fact that I know this and occasionally still pull out the FIF albums will probably lead to being disfellowshipped by the orthodox Lutheran brethren. Oh well.

Don't worry... I do the same thing... Every now and then I find myself with an Insyderz album playing on iTunes. Then I take a cold shower and come back to reality.

Do a little iTunes search with those band names. Five Iron Frenzy, I would specifically suggest "Dandelions", "Oh, Canada" and "Superpowers". Yeah... it may be intentional. :)
I will follow now with quotes from what was once a favorite song of mine... before I found Martin Franzman, of course. This one is entitled "Suckerpunch", a clever ska-tune with similar guitar picking structures to your YouTube video.
Coke bottle glasses,
I'm sitting in the corner with my finger up my nose,
And my shoelaces untied again,
Another day of school with no friends.
A social outcast,
Two grades ahead in math,
with my highwater pants,
Giving meaning to pencil-necked-geek,
A dork or so to speak, tongue-in-cheek.
They're all sucker-punching me,
Get in line for a wedgie.
All I want and all I need,
Is someone who believes in me.
A song sung for underdogs,
for all the left out.
A flag flying for losers,
somewhere in the Heavens.
The God of ever-lasting comfort,
believed in me,
Loved me when I was faithless,
he still died for me.

By the way - someone else covered this..or at least had fun dubbing it . Perhaps even more disturbing.
