You give love a bad name

But I'm not naming names.  You know who you are.



Actually, that's the song that was playing as I walked into Church yesterday - not on the radio, not in the lobby, but by our Praise Band, in an arena-worthy version every bit as good as the original.  It was a tie-in to the Love is a Battlefield series, and is not found in the Methodist Hymnal.  The next two or three songs were standard modern worship tunes.

Then, after the band had left the stage, the lead vocalist and lead guitarist (who did lead vocal on the Bon Jovi number) returned, performing You're the One That I Want from Grease.  Only it wasn't in bubble-gum pop style, but at a slower, ballad, tempo, just vocals and acoustic guitar.  The words were modified so it wasn't two dudes singing to each other like Danny & Sandy (Keystone's not that kinda church), but as a man would sing to his true [woman] love.  A very interesting arrangement.

Extra points for I Believe in Miracles by Hot Chocolate.  And, when was the last time you heard the word 'whorehouse' (31:18) in church?

Yeah, this sermon would peel the paint off the walls at some churches.
