Answer: Ozzy Osbourne

The song talks about rock star Ozzy and how we should pray for him to get saved.

Lyrics:
"Ozzy puts bats down his throat
Real different people live in his home
"Cosby, he's not," You complain
"He's burned out from drugs and forgets his own name!"
Censors soon start bleeping, "What did he just say?!"
I know enough to tell it's not a statement of faith
I know enough to tell Ozzy may need saved
Let's go
I've listened to Priest and I've listened to Crue
I've watched Alice Cooper get saved out of booze
One person's addictions can ruin his soul
But Jesus saved Alice, so you never know
Metal groups still screaming. Why are we so tame?
They're going off the trail, but they ain't insane
They're going off the trail, 'cause we're lazy brains
Why don't we think 'bout Romans 1 through 3
You gotta listen to God's Word
Yeah, yeah
There was a cola war and Ozzy succumbed
He'll sell Mr. Bubble when MTV's done
Lately, I just am not scared
The devilish Ozzy--he just isn't there
Maybe he's not really who and what you claimed
I know what Ozzy says but he may still change
So don't underestimate God's amazing grace"

Answer: J. Jackson

In the FAQ section of the Apologetix website, one of the questions was: "What does the J in J. Jackson stand for?" Jackson jokingly replied Jenny, and that's why he's never told anyone the name behind the initial before. He never did say what it really meant, though.

Answer: Everlife

Everlife sings backup vocals on "Meshach," "The Word," "Get Found Tonight," and "Sweet Oholibamah."

Answer: Jimmy Buffett

"Psum 14" is a parody of Sum 41's "Fat Lip." Among other things, Apologetix also mentions Al Pacino, Mr. Clean, Olan Mills, Dorian Gray, and Waldorf the Muppet.

Lyrics:
"Sure my movie part it won't be played by Al Pacino
Well, I hope you're not thinking I'm exactly Mr. Clean though
As a kid, was in sin, and no one knew it but me
And my Olan Mills portrait was Dorian Gray
Well, I know I'm not the one you thought you knew back in high school
You'd never know, I'd never show, I just was a shy dude
But let me set you straight, 'cause all of us need saved
My sin was always here but that's erased
I don't want to praise my crimes
Because I know that that would be impropriety
I'm just a ball of slime
So come and get forgiven just like He forgave me--act now
Read God's truth in
Romans and Psalms we learn that all people fall
But what would you expect knowing David and Paul
Have you met 'em? Them fellas knew how we need grace grace
They did bad deeds only God could erase
Cause David had an affair and murdered, he still repented
Turning Paul around it took divine intervention
Acts 9 it will confirm he messed up every church
He sinned till Jesus told him, "Hey, that hurts!"
I don't want to list my crimes
Because I know the fragility of my piety
And I recall this line
In chapter 1 verse 15 of First Timothy--that's how
Don't count on me to live with no sin
Don't count on me--I'll do it again
Don't count on me--but the point you're missing
Don't count on me--is I'm forgiven
We're all just no good and we're nailed without Christ
Act fast and He won't get upset about nothing
You can stand around and scorn and scoff like Waldorf the Muppet
But you can't blame anybody; ask Jimmy Buffett
'Cause if you take no blame you'll be really on the hook
You're on the Ten Most Wanted in the devil's own book
That's why Psalm number 14:3 is important
Because it says we're all sinners adding up more sin"

Answer: Holy Monkey's Eyebrow!

"Downer of a Sister" is a parody of System of a Down's "Chop Suey!"
A FAQ on the Apologetix website asks why J. Jackson says "Holy Monkey's Eyebrow" at the beginning of "Downer of a Sister." Here's the answer:

Monkey's Eyebrow is the name of an actual town in Kentucky. When we were recording "Downer of a Sister," it was difficult to annunciate the lyrics at the beginning of the song -- getting them right and on time with the beat. I actually said that in the middle of the song, and Karl put it at the beginning because the System of a Down version has a (barely audible) exclamation at the beginning that says something like "rolling suicide."
