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.

Pack Up Your Troublesour pube-headed, monkey faced Baptist of a guitar strumming primary school teacher must also have been a Somme veteran, because for reasons best known to himself he taught us the Great War classics It's A Long Way To Tipperary and Pack Up Your Troubles in Your Old Kit Bag. Naturally, "Kit" became "Shit", thus creating the funniest song in the history of existence to any 10 year old. But better was still to come.
Our class were in charge of the assembly that week, so we did a WWI theme: trench foot, bayonetting krauts, mustard gassing the year 4's etc. To finish, the whole hall sang the song he proudly announced his class had been learning all week. What happened was that we all sang it on repeat...every time it reached the beginning again another class were told to shut up and scram off to break. Our class were the eldest, and therefore the last to go. The sound of the word "Kit" slowly dying away and being replaced by "Shit" as the hall emptied is still one of the most beautiful things I have ever witnessed.
