They say that the devil has all the best tunes, and going by this Christian parody of Nicki Minaj's Super Bass, they may be right.
Super Grace, a near four minute interpretation of hip hop diva Minajs enormous hit performed by members of the University of Florida's Christian Greek organisations was uploaded to YouTube on Christmas Day.
Described by the uploader as a humorous, somewhat exaggerated commentary, the group have adapted the tune to fit to lyrics telling the story of a single Christian girl's struggle to appreciate the wonderful Christian men in her life while still guarding her heart and waiting patiently upon the Lord.
The group offer their praises to the strains of commercial hip hop
The songs success at the show inspired the participants to get their choreogra! phy and wig on and make a music video.
But while Nicki and Little Mix when they performed it on X Factor sing/rap Can't you hear that boom, badoom, boom/Boom, badoom, boom bass? in the chorus, this Godly group substitute in the words God, give me Your Hallelujah, Hallelujah grace.
Similarly, the songs opening lines of This one is for the boys with the boomin' system/Top down, AC with the coolin' system/When he come up in the club, he be blazin' up/Got stacks on deck like he savin' up are replaced with This one is for the boys with the true religion/In love with the Lord and done with sinnin'/When he come up in the church he be praisin' up/Always tithes but he's still savin' up.
But in the battle of the cover versions, is Super Grace better than X Factors Little Mix rendition of Super Bass?
