Christian Parody Song?

Pop music can be such a pain in the ass. Case in point, this past summer's hear-it-till-you-wanna-shoot-yourself-in-the-face hit, Call Me Maybe by Carly Rae Jepsen. Thanks Canada! Another one of your performers sneaked across the border! Tell ya what, next time, ask first. Michael J. Fox, that worked out great. We love him. Justin Bieber? Sorry, that was the deal breaker.

Now it's Carly's turn to be a Canadian ex-patriot making a splash in the states. Woo hoo! She's adorable! And that song, oh so catchy! You've had your one hit, time to head north. But before you go, I want to thank you for a dose of inspiration.

I'm Catholic. Lent just started. It's a time of the year for us which is as close to being Jewish as we will ever be. We fast, complain, you know, Old Testament kind of stuff. Most importantly, we think about incorporating our spirituality into our daily lives. I'm a dad. Being with the kids is part of my life. I'm also a writer. Lets put that all together and see what pops out.

Why of course, a Christian Parody Song about Mary Magdalene using Call Me Maybe as its base.

Here now are my lyrics for, "From Magdalene, I'm Mary."

I was a sinner big time

met lots of dudes for a dime

didn't like it one bit

was no way I could quit

felt so far from sublime

drank lots of fruit from the vine

I hung with the wrong crowd

my guilt was yelling so loud

a little bread you're sharing

with your desciples, oh so carin'

so unlike the pharisees

why would you talk to me, oh?

Hey I just met you,

and I'm no lady,

man I'm a sinner,

so save me maybe

I make my living

off dudes unsavory

I'd like a chance now

Jesus please save me.

Your followers scoffed

told you to call it off

said that I wasn't worth

a stepped on worm in the dirt

but you're the chosen one

were not looking for my fun

could it be that you care

I could see it in your stare

'cause your eyes were caring

with your desciples, oh so carin'

wave on the sea of galilee

why would you talk to me, oh?

Hey I just met you,

and I'm no lady,

man I'm a sinner,

so save me maybe

I make my living

off dudes unsavory

I'd like a chance now

Jesus please save me.

Before you came into my life

I had no love only strife

stealing men from their wives

so many men from their wives

Before you came into my life

I sinned from morning to the night

sinning just to earn some dough

but all of that you know

Hey I just met you,

and I'm no lady,

man I'm a sinner,

so save me maybe

I make my living

off dudes unsavory

I'd like a chance now

Jesus please save me.

So if you happen to know of a Christian Band looking to do a parody song, hook us up. I can't wait to get writing credits for a published parody song.

See you at Easter!
