This is exactly how odd a Westboro Baptist cover of ‘Royals’ sounds

Who knew the Westboro Baptist Church was so musically inclined?

A parody the group did of “Royals” a month ago has been getting a lot of attention lately.

The WBC members made plans to protest an upcoming Kansas concert after Lorde criticized a DJ who suggested there was “something wrong with lesbians,” according to a Guardian report.

The singer deleted some tweets calling on her fans to confront the group, but not before  Queerty took a screenshot.

“hahaha omg just found out westboro baptist church are going to picket my show in kansas city… everyone wear rainbow clothing to that show… everyone try to kiss church members who are same sex as you they will so love it christmas comin early in kansas city…”

Next the group created this creeptacular Vine aimed at Lorde.

Based on the WBC Soundcloud page they’ve also parodied a Katy Perry song in the past.

As a sidenote, the WBC Soundcloud bio reads: “There are only 2 types of people: Jacobs & Esaus. All Esaus go to Hell. You are probably an Esau. Listen to our songs, parodies & sermons to find out why.”

Their cover of “Royals’ isn’t without the same sentiment.

“With the pale horses, you’re gonna soon be sorry/because bare teeth raging, sinning in the bedroom, bloodless coffin, trashing your creator/You don’t care/You’re really bad asses in your dreams, but in reality Christ will payback/ coming in the clouds,” is an excerpt.

Anyhow, can’t spend any more time or effort on the Westboro Church. Click the song above for their cover. Sound off in the comments.
