Despite all the drama occurring on Capitol Hill right now, the new year has also reminded us that some things will never change, like Christians rewriting old songs like “Eye of the Tiger” to spread the Gospel message:

There will be extra crowns in Heaven for those who watch the entire “Eye of the Tiger” (“Christian version” ). And may God have mercy upon your soul. #SoundOn #Yikes <b>#</b><a href="/tag/christianrock" style="float:none;">ChristianRock</a> #ChristianHipHop pic.twitter.com/u4uCe43m5i

That’s the sort of “Christianized” song you might hear in a lot of modern evangelical services. Or bootleg versions of Hamilton. And, for better or worse, both performers took their roles seriously. Maybe too seriously for the internet.

It didn’t take long before clips of that performance began circulating on social media. People commented on the man’s physique, the woman’s apparent technicolor dress, the way they looked at each other (which would be awkward if they were siblings and not a couple), the lack of enthusiasm from the mostly elderly crowd, and the guy’s attempt to throw a shirt into the audience only for it to get as far as… Row 1.

More than anything, viewers just cringed.

It didn’t help that one of the most popular clips online included the words “(Chrstian Version)”—with the misspelling—which some commenters used to mock the performers even though they had nothing to do with it.
