We managed to give a local minister a near stroke when he heard and recognized the opening chords for House of the Rising Sun coming from his church's mighty Wurlitzer at a wedding ceremony he was performing. His sigh of relief when the vocalist acompanied it with the lyrics to Amazing Grace was visible, but he still had the look of a pole-axed steer.

Dammit, archy, it's tough to stifle laughter here in the office. Gives me a runny nose every time! (*sniff*) ;-)

The same sort of somewhat jarring substitution can be managed with the music from Stairway to Heaven and the lyrics to the theme from the TV show Gilligan's Island.

I may not be a great or talented musician, and others are better at working a crowd. But I can still conme up with a kicker or two for the ol' playlist.
