He did acknowledge this and found the jokes rather funny, but [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h1BDPNy0mpI remarked]] that some of the memes were [[DudeNotFunny crossing the line]] especially as he views the song in question as "a gift from Our Lord," never to be trivialised or made irreverent.

* EveryoneIsChristianAtChristmas: Chan's Christmas songs are non-secular in nature and [[UsefulNotes/Jesus Jesus Christ]] is actually part of his songs' lyrics. He did however recall in an [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tEXIU3L9cBg interview]] that a group of Muslims actually asked him to sing his signature song in front of them. Said Muslims ''sang along'' with Chan, who was touched upon knowing how the song transcended religious and cultural boundaries.
