I come from a long line of casual singers.  We sing in the shower, in the car, wherever, just not in front of audiences.  That would be more like a comedy routine.  Not only do we lack singing talent, we are usually completely clueless as to what the correct words are.  My brother started the tradition by coming up with his own special take on the song “Don’t you want me baby” by the Human League.  He thought they were singing “Don’t chew on me baby.”  I like his version of the song so much, I really can’t sing it the right way anymore.  It just seems like it’s more fun to sing it with the wrong lyrics.  

As a child, my son soon followed suit.  He heard the song “Take a chance on me” by ABBA and though the lyrics were saying “Jackie Chan’s on me”  That one had me laughing for days.  If you love quirky things like this, there is a whole website dedicated to the musically challenged person.  The site is kissthisguy.com which is definitely worth a look if your family is like mine and likes to sing, but is not gifted in getting the words right.
