What makes Judaism so great is that we can take the most mundane of things and elevate them spiritually. It’s no different with music. Isn’t it better to take that secular music that some are listening to anyway, and at least infuse it with a teeny bit of kedusha by changing the lyrics to something that touches our hearts? Country Yossie did it years ago, and many have imitated that style since. I think it’s great. The tunes are catchy, and at least we are singing Torah-dig concepts and not shtuss (for those who call it shtuss).
