Subject: RE: Children's Misheard Lyrics
I've reported this one before, but never mind. When my daughter was small, we took her to see the Nutcracker ballet, which she then thought included "The Dance of the Sugar-Lump Fairy". After this had gone on a week or two we explained it should be the "Sugar-PLUM" fairy. She listened very carefully, and from then on she was careful to say "The Sugar-PLUMP fairy".
