Singing the wrong wordsThere'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.

ReligionMy primary school headmaster was a very religious man, so we had hymns every morning in assembly. We were accompanied by nice Mrs Bennett on the guitar and horrid Mrs Gowan on the piano (always referred to as Hinge and Bracket by Mum - had no idea what she meant at the time).
So we always loved it when "Go Tell It On The Mountain" was hymn of the day - predictably we would all sing the chorus as loudly as we could. "Go toilet on the mountain, over the hills and everywhere," is very funny when you're ten years old. Of course, we were all shouted at one day by the headmaster for being disrespectful. Next time we sang it, we all whispered the "toilet" bit, making it even more obvious.
I wish my humour had risen above this level now, but it hasn't.
