Mangled lyrics

google "mondegreen"

The classic song by Charles Hodges and David Peacock called "Wortcha!" was revamped for the Courage Best advertisement and re-christened "Gertcha!". A similar treatment was afforded to the Sideboard Song and Rabbit. 

Sir Edward Elgar also contributed the tune to the football anthem "We hate Nottingham Forest", which fell in to disuse when Forest won the European cup with Sir Brian Clough. If you google it you'll find renditions on you tube with karaoke style lyrics though the words I knew included reference to Norwich City rather than Everton. 

'Jar O' Farts' seems to be popular just now for some reason.  G

"Classic song?"  Came already mangled.

I am hoping they do the opening ceremony for the Olympics as we need a show the epitomises the good things that made Britain great - imagine what the world would be like without Snooker Loopy

Got to be better than a british version of Diana Ross or Goldpay

There was Spike Milligan's version of Tony Bennett's well know song"

I left my heart in Sac Franciso

I left my knees in old Peru

I left my little wooden leg.

High on a metal peg.

Somewhere in Dublin Zoo...

For years I thought Nilsson's Without You began:

No, I can't forget the ceiling 

Or your face as you were leaving

As a kid I thought mince and shepherds seemed a strange mixture then as a teenager mincing shepherds come away seemed even more bizarre.
