Okay, so indulge my story telling - this one brings up another story.
One of my daughters - the one that can actually sing - used to sing a
lot
of primary songs around the house. She'd get the melody down fine, but
never seemed to pay equal attention to the lyrics.
So one of her favorite songs (apologies? to those who don't have access
to
Primary songs and then won't get the tune stuck in the heads for the
rest
of the day} was sung as follows:
I belong to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints
I know who I am
I know who I am
I know who I am.
The rest of the song was, pretty much, "I know who I am"
To this day, this is the way the rest of my family sings this song; we
know what the real words are, but it just too much fun to keep singing
it the other way.
