1. No one's heard of those songs because they suck big, hairy, sweaty balls.
2. Few are the people able to divert enough attention from their kids to give enough focus to the music to sing it properly, causing:
a) Only old people who can't hear that they're no longer in-tune and sing extra-loud because they can't hear themselves anyway, and
b) People mumbling around with the basic tune, about half a beat behind.

20 years ago or so, there used to be 10 to 15 minutes set aside each Sunday for the congregation to learn new hymns. It wasn't a bad idea, even if it often didn't get enough involvement from the members.
