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.

Throbbe - All Things Bright and Beautiful....My fiancée wants this hymn at our wedding for the exact reason you want people to stop having it...
Slightly on topic, in my last year at primary school my class had to sing Silent Night at the Christmas concert. Except we had to sing it in the original German. Cue 60 children having German pronunciation drilled into them with ruthless, Nazi-esque efficiency (necessary to stop us singing "Steely Nakt, Heineken Nakt" rather than "Stille Nacht, Heilige Nacht").
See them beam with pride as they execute said hymn flawlessly on the day. Witness the rapid deflation of their egos when the reaction from the audience was "aaaw, isn't that nice, they've sung it in the original Latin".
Shouldn't have bothered really...
