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.

Here's mineAn old schoolfriend, instead of “We’re having big fun” was heard to sing “We’re having meatballs”
My ex’s father used to sing along to Ace of Base’s “All That She Wants” as Ohhhh Matchima” WTF??!!! What is a Matchima?!!
My brother used to sing along to our school hymn “Immaculate Mary” as “We vacuum St Mary’s”
An ex colleague used to sing along to Madonna’s “Beautiful Stranger” as “Beautiful Badger”
My Dad thinks Ronan Keating is singing “The smile on your fish, lets me know that you need me”
I used to think the Eurythmics song was “Sweet dreams are made of the years”
I also used to think REM (Sidewinder) were singing “Calling Jamaica, calling Jamaica” but then realised that was wrong and thought it was “Come on little child wake up” – still wrong!! (Surely I am not alone in this?)
But my favourite changed-words was when my boyfriend and I were in a gondola in Venice. The gondolier pointed out Doges’ Palace to us and my boyfriend immediately sang at the top of his voice “WHO LET THE DOGES OUT”
