History
In July 2007, ApologetiX fans were given a list of unreleased parodies & asked them to choose 10 favorites. ApologetiX then performed the chosen songs in front of a live audience in Lisbon, Ohio on 3 August 2007. ApologetiX also chose to rerecord two previously released tracks, as they thought the current live versions were superior to the originals.[2]
Track listing
All parodies were re-written by lead singer J. Jackson, with the exception of "Born-Again Child," which was based on a parody bassist Keith Haynie had written. "Born-Again Child" is the only parody that J. did not write solo.
