Thread Name: Lyric drift.
Subject: RE: Lyric drift.
Friends of mine used to have a regular bit of a gathering at each others houses, including a meal and a sing. One of them typed up some song sheets which were full of typing errors. Eventually they started singing what was typed rather than what the words should have been.
This led to lines such as "I don't want a harp or a haloo, not me" in Fiddlers Green.
