Who are the
ApologetiX?
ApologetiX is a Christian parody band
located in Pittsburgh, PA. ApologetiX
rewrites secular songs with Christian lyrics to create parodies with Christian
messages. Some of their parodies include "Lazy Brain" (Crazy Train by Ozzy
Osbourne),"Hotel Can't Afford Ya" ("Hotel California") by The Eagles,
"Corinthians" (based on "In the End" by Linkin Park), "Look Yourself" ("Lose
Yourself" by Eminem), "Smooth Grandmama" ("Smooth Criminal" originally by
Michael Jackson but covered by Alien Ant Farm), "Smells Like Thirtysomething
Spirit" ("Smells Like Teen Spirit" by Nirvana), "Sounds of Silas" ("Sounds of
Silence" by Simon & Garfunkel), and "Bethlehemian Rhapsody" ("Bohemian Rhapsody"
by Queen). Click the group picture for some concert video.
ApologetiX gets their unusual name from the word "apologetics" which
means "the defense of the Christian faith." It's based on
the Greek word for defense, apologia, which
is in the original text of this Bible verse from the Apostle Peter:
1 Peter 3:15
"But in your hearts set apart Christ as Lord. Always be
prepared to give an answer (or defense or "apologia") to everyone
who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do
this with gentleness and respect."
