My wife's favourite is "Up from the grave he arose, with a mighty spider on his nose"

I nearly had the same problem yesterday...during the first song of 3 I noticed there was a spider hanging from the microphone stand about an inch away from my nose...not nice!

Paul mentioned the 'God and King' sounding like 'Garden King' when sung in an American accent. One step further- Chris Tomlin's thick texan accent falls on my english ears as:

'give thanks to the Lord, our garden King, his love indoors forever'

God's in the garden, but his love is keeping warm inside ;)

And also 'let every ding bat, every ding bat, every ding bat has breath praise the Lord'

On the soundalike theme, remember Graham Kendrick's "Rejoice, rejoice, Christ is in you" - the intro is the same as "Substitute" by The Who...very tempting...
Yeah Chris Tomlin is guilty of some bad pronunciation - how about "How grey is our Gaw" for example. I thought he was Canadian though...

This is brill. Really made me chuckle.

When my sister was about 4 or 5, she was caught singing 'He is exhausted' instead of 'He is exalted', and 'O Hip Hip Hooray' instead of 'O Ancient of Days'.

How very refreshing - I've had a good giggle at this discussion:

I had a friend who instead of singing El Shaddai used to sing : How should I, how should I, I don't know but I will try...

"thank you for saving me" has become "thank you for shaving me" as far as our band are concerned.

I think it's Godfrey Birtle that sang "He's got a trumpet in His hand and He's about to blow the trumpet" we thought it might be better as "He's got a crumpet in His hand and He's about to toast the crumpet!"

The Lord's a grapefruit and a passion fruit

... is apparently The Lord is gracious and compassionate ... but I swear it's the former!

I have just thought of a very old one. (I'm not in the old and wrinkly group for nothing!)

There was a song we used to sing that went:-
"Make a joy full noise unto the Lord all the earth"
It used to end up as :-
"Make an awful noise unto the Lord all the earth"
And with the band we had at the time we did!!!!!

A while back i helped out with the band in our youth fellowship. it was the days of overhead projectors and different song book, sheets etc. One night i turned to our drummer and asked which song was next. The singer/worship leader, Andrew, to get my attention and announce the next song said, 'Rich,Your love is amazing'. Without thinking or realiseing where i was, i fired back 'Thanks a lot mate''. Wrong on so many levels especialy in a room full of teenagers that thought this was hilarious : /

Back to the songs that are in the same chord structure..... I now can't sing Hillsong's 'One Way' without thinking of 'we wanna see Jesus lifted high'

You could do a remix....

"One way!" "we wanna see" "Jesus" "We wanna see"....
