Something sounds a little fishy
When I was in high school, my music teacher kept me in stitches with his "mishearings" of song lyrics. My favourite was the "elephant ear song", though God's invitation for a cuppa ("come for tea, my people") is also pretty funny. I didn't ever think it could go this far, though! Thanks, Lou, for passing this link on.

Oh. My. God. That is TOO COOL! I laughed until I cried at the "O Four Tuna." I might have to put it on my blog for my DC crowd.

Thanks for the link, T. That had me in stitches! Yet another way to procrastinate
Tee-hee. Reminds me of my favorite portions from Handel's 'Messiah' - "The big white sheep has gone astray" and "The yolk is easy and the bacon is fried." Thanks for posting!
