I enjoyed it much more than the original. http://www.stlyrics.com/songs/y/yankovicweirdal16183/whatifgodsmokedcannabis440346.html

They're not a true Christian band unless they're labeled like that. Switchfoot didn't want to market themselves as Christian because they didn't want to turn off non-Christians who would otherwise not want to listen to their music and the hidden message in their lyrics.

John said that they were trying to shift that in rock and make it more positive by displaying a positive, Christian message through their songs... they might not necessarily market themselves as a Christian band, but they really still are

i guess u could consider "Believe" by Brooks and Dunn a Non-Christian Christian song...if a non-Christian Christian song is what I think it is...that title is confusing itself....

deffently i love that song!!!
