    heard this song on the radio at work cant get it out of my head right now. The funny thing is that this girl at work who is a super duper religious christian absolutely loves this song. So I asked her if she ever paid attention to the lyrics and she said it sounds like a prayer to God. I told he that she should pay close attention next time she hears the song.

    The version I know was done by Sarah McLachlan. But I like both.

    I had a pretty religious friend who thought 'What If God Was One Of Us' by Joan Osbourne was sacrilegious.

    That one has "church-like" words :) So yeah I would say it would be more appropriate.

    Here's the lyrics to the Jonas Bros one (I had to look it up)

    Edit: ew... but he's a horrible singer...

    I find it weird that there's this "thing" called "GOD" that these music "arteests" (shall we call them) are questioning whether exists or not, but yet they sing to it... :confused: ??

    Anyway, that would be like saying "I don't believe in you, ClutchFans.net" while posting in it. :p no?

    Anyway, not to throw it to the D&D, I think those dudes' music sounds and lyrics and singing sound like "Tears for Fears", "Depeche Mode", "Erasure", "Duran Duran", "Pet Shop Boys" combined. :D

    XTC had a very similar fanbase in the 80's as Depeche Mode etc.. It was considered in the Post Modern category along with The Smiths, The The, etc..
