Check out this article in the onion a few years ago!  It's got references to Yes, Genesis, Jethro Tull, and others.

...This is my favorite part:

"Though the majority of Bible scholars are welcoming the new YesScriptures, a small minority stands strongly opposed.

"The messages in the YesScriptures are rarely clear and almost always of questionable morality," said Michael Fox, chair of Yale University's Divinity School. "While Christ's message may seem obvious when, in Howe 3:16, He sayeth unto James the Lesser: 'Owner of a lonely heart, yea, much better than thee, O owner of a broken heart,' it is possible that this passage contains intended irony on the part of the Savior, and that the verse actually signifies a message of profound sympathy for the broken-hearted heart-owners of Mankind."

This is the best part:

"Christ's rejection of the Lord Of Lies is then followed by a 16-minute keyboard solo by synthesizer maestro Rick Wakeman. "

It's funny, but I'm not quite sure what it's making fun of.  is it poking fun at Yes?  but what does that have to do with the Bible?  I usually get the Onion, but not really this time.
