Tim Tebow is now the subject of a reworked 1980s song.

Tim Tebow wasn't even born until 1987, but a hit song from 1985 has been reworked to honor him.

British musician John Parr, who had a #1 hit with "St. Elmo's Fire (Man in Motion)" in 1985, wrote new lyrics for his song focusing on the Denver Broncos quarterback.

Where the original song went "Gonna be your man in motion, all I need's a pair of wheels," the Tebow-ized lyrics read "Gonna be a man in motion, all I need's my Broncos team." And instead of "soon be home, only just a few miles down the road," the new lyrics read "Soon be home, only just four downs to go."

And of course, the title lyric, "St. Elmo's Fire," has been changed in one reference to "Tim Tebow's Fire."

The song was actually released last fall, after Parr performed it on ESPN's "SportsNation," but is getting more attention now that the Broncos are in the NFL playoffs. Denver TV station FOX31 spoke to Parr, who told them "I was inspired by Tim Tebow so I wanted to modify the lyrics ... in his honor of the way he lives his life as being a great example."

The changes may not be as far off as you might think. The song was originally written to honor a wheelchair athlete, Canadian paralympian Rick Hansen, whose "Man in Motion" world tour took him around the world in 1985.

Listen to the song below, and tell us what you think on Facebook.

Taran Killam played Tim Tebow on "SNL," but the show reportedly would like the real quarterback to host.

Tim Tebow was featured last week in a "Saturday Night Live" skit, but could the real Denver Broncos quarterback be coming to the show?

It's just a rumor, but Bonnie Fuller's Hollywood Life.com is reporting that a source says "SNL" would love to book Tebow to host once the football season ends.

The article doesn't say the NBC show has contacted Tebow, 24, just that producers "(realize) it would be HUGE ratings and they are hoping he will say yes."

Yes, people would tune in -- we'd be among them. Athletes, including quarterbacks Tom Brady and Peyton Manning, have hosted the show, so there is precedent. But if he's approached, Tebow's going to say no, and he's smart to do so.

First off, whatever his athletic skills, he's not going to be comfortable standing up there delivering the traditional opening monologue.

The skits themselves are a whole different thing. Manning actually took part in a memorable sketch where he played off his nice guy image, terrorizing a bunch of grade-school football players. (At one point, Manning clonks a kid in the head with a pass and then yells at him: "Get your head outta your a**! You SUCK!" He later shows them how to break into a car.)

But how could Tebow do the same? He's known for prayers, praising God on-field and off, and going on missionary trips where he has assisted in medical and dental procedures, including, most famously, helping in circumcisions.

There's no question the sketches "SNL's" writers would create for Tebow would play off the many known issues surrounding him -- the circumcisions, his virginity, the on-field prayer stance dubbed "Tebowing." But once they handed those scripts to Tebow, it seems wildly unlikely that he'd go along with what they come up with. Who can blame him?

Manning did it, and he looked smart for doing so. But here's betting the Tebow sketches would be much more personal and vicious, and much more likely to go against Tebow's personal values, religious or otherwise.

Last week's show featured Taran Killam playing Tebow, who is visited in the locker room by Jesus Christ (Jason Sudeikis). After it aired, evangelist Pat Robertson said the sketch showed "anti-Christian bigotry."

Whatever Robertson's opinion, we're betting that if "SNL" wants more Tebow on the show, they're going to have to keep utilizing Killam, not the real guy.

Msnbc.com readers who posted comments on our site Monday mostly enjoyed the "Saturday Night Live" skit in which Jesus visits Tim Tebow and the Denver Broncos.

Evangelist Pat Robertson was not laughing.

"There's an anti-Christian bigotry that is just disgusting," said Robertson on CBN, the Christian Broadcasting Network. “If this had been a Muslim country and they had done that, and had Muhammad doing that stuff, you would have found bombs being thrown off ... and bodies in the street. And we think it's OK."

Robertson went on to praise Tebow for his public display of faith. "This man has been placed in a unique position and I applaud him, God bless him."

It's unclear if Robertson saw or just heard about the skit, in which Jesus (Jason Sudeikis) delivers the line "Tim's doing his best, Dad bless 'em." We're going to guess no.

You can watch the video, which was posted by Mediaite.

Jesus visited Tim Tebow and the Denver Broncos locker room on "SNL."

Turns out God is on Tim Tebow's side after all. At least, according to "Saturday Night Live."

In a sketch on Saturday's show, Jesus (Jason Sudeikis) shows up in the locker room of the Denver Broncos to take credit for their six-game win streak (snapped by the New England Patriots a day after the episode aired).

Quarterback Tebow (Taran Killam) is thrilled that God's son is paying him a visit, so much so that Jesus has to keep warning the famously religious player to keep his distance, using the language of 1950s Catholic school nuns chaperoning a school dance. "Leave some room for the Holy Ghost," he scolds a too-close Tebow.

Jesus 'fesses up to saving the Broncos game after game, saying he only assists in the fourth quarter. He suggests that Tebow cut back on the pre-game praying and Bible reading and increase his stretching and playbook study. "I could throw better, and I'm 2010 years old," he chides the QB. But he isn't all negative about Tebow: "Tim's doing his best, Dad bless 'em," he says.

Jesus then finds out the Patriots are the Broncos' next opponent, and all but backs off on helping them with that game. "If I'm the Son of God, Tom Brady's gotta be the guy's nephew," he says, later comparing New England coach Bill Belichick to the devil.

Oh, and on his way out, Jesus has one more revelation. Let's just say the Osmonds are right.

Watch the sketch below.
