Singing the wrong words
There's a grand tradition of singing the wrong words to jingles, hymns and the dreaded school songs. Or maybe you have a corporate anthem too cheesy for words? Tell us the alternate words you and your friends sang so that we can too.

Feliz Navidad
A fried of mine from Chile was singing "Feliz Navidad" a little while ago. She learned it when she was young and didn't know English. So she knew the spanish words just fine, but when she got to the English lyrics, she started singing "I wanna wishy a-wesh-a-wesha..."
I had to teach her the correct lyrics. I couldn't laugh at her, though, as I was concerned with scoring that night.
Also, my former band played "Lively Up Yourself" and the bassist always sang "Liven up yourself," even though every time we practiced it we told him he was singing the wrong word. He also had a bit of a drinking problem.
