Nick Alexander has been called the “Catholic Weird Al.” Weird Al, of course, is a well known for writing parodies songs. A parody is a song that takes the music from another song (usually one that's well known) and changes the words to give it a humorous new meaning. Nick Alexander has taken songs from popular music and gives them a Catholic twist. Some of the songs he's done are “Old Time Gregorian Chant” -- to the music of “Old Time Rock n' Roll”, “Repent” -- to “Respect,” and “Should I Stand or Should I kneel” -- to the music of “Should I Stay or Should I Go.” Nick Alexander has already released two comedy albums and is going to be releasing a new one this year. His website is www.nickalexander.com . I emailed him and asked him to answer a few questions for our readers.

     Isn't it enough to have modern Christian music? Why do we need music that's specifically Catholic? There are a lot of “Christian” bands out there.
