Oh, I've had that same experience with the Jewish liturgical music! The "huh...wha?" moment when you own language doesn't register is so weird! I get a bit of it at Rock & Roll Shabbat, too. Lots of Beatles and Elvis but liturgical lyrics in a combo of English and Hebrew. Nothing cooler!
[I do have the same weird "huh...wha?" experience with opera in English. Man, does it suck!]
