One worse than that - I was standing in an electrical shop when a song I
only recognised as 'Ai Cthulu' (Brian Biddle) was played. Which I was
quietly singing along to. It took a verse to realise that they were
singing the wrong words, and another verse to realise that he must have
actually filked the tune, and there was an original before that (Ai
Calypso)!

You learn all the time...
