It's no secret that the Westboro Baptist Church hates plenty of things -- it's kind of their shtick -- and chief among them is Lady Gaga. The Kansas-based congregation, led by the Rev. Fred Phelps, made headlines a few months back with a campaign aimed squarely at the pop star, claiming she was hated by God and describing her as a "hussy" and a heathen for "seducing a generation." Something tells us Gaga would likely enjoy that description.
Now, in a very contemporary move, the Reverend's granddaughter, Megan Phelps, has decided to ditch the ubiquitous picket signs and fight fire with fire -- spreading the word of Gaga's sinful ways through song. Yes, Megan has recorded a parody cover of Gaga's recent hit 'Telephone,' titled 'Ever Burn' (in hell, naturally), and it's just as catchy as the original. Listen to the track and let us know what you think after the jump.
We've provided plenty of 'Telephone' covers in our day, but this is likely one of the more memorable and definitely the most jarring. "Stop prayin,' stop prayin,' God will not hear you anymore, you taught the boys and the girls to be proud whores," Megan chants over the original track, as the mood-killing lyrics make us rethink whether or not we should continue dancing. So what do you think? Should Megan stick to picketing and protesting funerals or continue on with pop parody?
Can't get enough of Megan's musical stylings? Take a trip down memory lane with Phelps' 'Poker Face' parody below.

Okay wrong wrong wrong, if you are a true Christian Jesus loves all of us that is why He died for us not just belivers! Please to win souls you must be wise. God Hates sin but does not Hate Lady Gaga. As christians we should pray for her so she can see her sin and repent and turn to the God that loves her very very much but not her sin. Everyone can repent because we are all sinners.
Amen! Much was said about the music of my generation(60's decade), but I honestly think GaGa's music or should I say performances are WAY OVER THE TOP.I choose not to support her, a choice we should exercise if we choose to do so.She will grow up one day!
You said it. They came to our town to protest a gay event, and ALL news media refused to give them coverage. It was like they were never here. THAT'S how you deal with these sickos.
No one cares for their 'message' because it's all about hate. These people are pretty scary. I wish they'd not breed. And I certainly wish they'd not 'perform'. Talk about no talent!!!!
Wow...I must applaud your local media for not giving in to sensationalism. I'm sure covering Westboro when they came to your town may have been tempting, but that was the right thing to do.
True Christians are NOT supposed to condemn because we all do things we shouldn't. Instead we are supposed to act in a manner that will bring people to Christ. Do these people think anyone outside their little group of morons actually cares about their message?
God does NOT hate gays. God does NOT hate minorities.
For God so loved the world he gave his only begotten son...
Home town Jesus freak Rev. Fred Phelps throwing wad after slobbering all over his bible beating ways may suit the Westboro Baptist minister just fine but as for the Flesh - nothing could be finer than splitting tea bags at Lady Gaga's down town garage and diner in the mooorning.
I'm not a Gaga fan at all what so ever, but at least she doesn't preach hate. Phelps talks about the bible all the time and screams do what the bible says ... shame he doesn't do what it says either. The God is all about love, Phelps is all about hate. This looser needs to be locked up someplace and forgotten along with the rest of his freaky wacked out incest family.
This Phelps clan continues to spread a message that is in opposition to the message of Christ. "Stop praying... God will not hear you any more..." could not be further from the evangelical nature of Christianity. I would not want to be these hateful folks on judgment day.
Megan Phelp's your a d-bag!!! Quit interpeting the book and making up your own B.S. LADY ROCK's! And there's nothing you can do about it, go listen to some slayer!!!!
God is Love. God Loves the sinners(Us) but hates sin. If we want to reach people it has to be through Gods love and not through hate! Remember John 3:16.

WHAT ???
Huh?
Oh well...anyway, Phelps is not a Jesus Freak. He knows nothing about Jesus.
Interesting...he ran for public office five times, as a Democrat. Glad he lost.
God does not hate gays. God loves everyone.
God does hate sin, including gay sin. Homosexuality is an abomination unto God.
Love the sinner, hate the sin. Repent sinners!
