StColette Posted July 5, 2004 Share Posted July 5, 2004 well being Cajun when i was younger I would sing the Jambalaya song. part of it goes "Jambalaya, a-crawfish pie and a file gumbo" I would get Jambalaya, a crawfish pie right but when it came to "a file gumbo" I would say " I fell in gumbo" My parents thought it was adorable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sojourner Posted July 5, 2004 Share Posted July 5, 2004 One of my friends' kids (3 yrs. old) was singing the hymn "And Can It Be." The last line is, "Amazing love, how can it be, that thou my God shouldst die for me." She belts out, "Amazing love, how can it be, that thou my God shouldst starve for me." :rotfl: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theculturewarrior Posted July 5, 2004 Share Posted July 5, 2004 When I was younger, I thought Zeppelin's, "Goin' to California with an achin' in my heart," said, "Goin' to California with an acorn in my heart." My niece had some real good ones, but unfortunately I can't remember the original! There was one by Britney Spears that she always mutilated. She would sing, "the lonely pocket girl." But alas, I can't remember the song! My niece also messed up the Our Father when she was learning it. "Our Father, who [b]aren't[/b] in Heaven."
