> I saw a *great* TV ad once in which a guy was holding up cards with the lyrics of "Israelites", as he heard them. I wish I could remember the whole thing. It was hilarious. The best of it was that his lyrics sounded SO MUCH MORE like the words you were hearing than the actual words did. I defy anyone to see that ad and ever again hear that song as anything but "Whoa-oh-oh, me ears are alight."

That was an ad for a certain brand of audio tape. I think it was either Maxell or TDK, but I can't be sure. It ends with the cards saying:

"I think that's what he says"
"But I need to hear it on (brand name) tape!"
