Inspired by Didymus’s “Make a Catholic Movie Thread” where you make a movie Catholic (forums.catholic-questions.org/showthread.php?t=980314). The game is just like the Make a Catholic Movie game, but instead of movies, you pick a secular song and “Catholicize” it. I’ll start with a couple examples.

“Gangnam Style” becomes “Catholic Style”
“What does the Fox Say?” becomes “What does the Pope Say?”
And for all the EF lovers out there, “The Final Countdown” becomes “The Final Gospel”.

Now it’s your turn!

This is a little off the title making but other day was driving with my daughter and Prince’s song “I would die for you” came on. I have listened to that through the 80’s but never really put the lyrics together. Wow, is all I can say. Talk about something so obvious that I think I and a lot of others missed back in the day.

I Would Die 4 U

By Prince, The Revolution

I’m not a woman
I’m not a man
I am something that you’ll never understand

I’ll never beat you
I’ll never lie
And if you’re evil I’ll forgive you by and by

'Cause you, I would die for you, yeah
Darling if you want me to
You, I would die for you

I’m not your lover
I’m not your friend
I am something that you’ll never comprehend

No need to worry
No need to cry
I’m your messiah and you’re the reason why

'Cause you, I would die for you, yeah
Darling if you want me to
You, I would die for you

You’re just a sinner I am told
Be your fire when you’re cold
Make you happy when you’re sad
Make you good when you are bad

I’m not a human
I am a dove
I’m your conscious
I am love
All I really need is to know that
You believe

Yeah, I would die for you, yeah
Darling if you want me to
You, I would die for you

Yeah, say one more time

You, I would die for you
Darling if you want me to
You, I would die for you
Two, three, four you

I would die for you
I would die for you
You, I would die for you
You, I would die for you
