Yes, despite having sung it a decade ago, it took a second look to find those unearthly, otherworldly errors.

Thanks for stopping by and for commenting, Kerrie.

Right, Eric. That's part of the compromise with where and when we live. Though I, myself, am happy to sing Advent songs at church through all four Sundays, because that's about the only place I do. I'll admit that I've been playing Christmas music at home for more than a week now, Advent albums being conspicuously scarce. Being in the choir, I've been practicing Christmas songs for months, so I can't stay "pure," anyway. (I have the same problem with Lent; you can't rehearse for Easter without Alleluia-ing all over the place.)

So it is possible to be king of King's and lord of Lord's after all. :) I should make it clear, however, that the two "interesting" errors I found in the Hallelujah video have nothing to do with apostrophes. Punctuation mistakes are not interesting. You have to be quick to catch these, but if you've sung the Hallelujah Chorus they're obvious. If you've only listened, you'll probably miss them.

Yay for Christmas! Nice posts. Here's hoping that Episcopalians get to sing Christmas Carols during Advent, cause by the time we get to sing them we don't want to anymore. . .

Maybe the kids were thinking of Cambridge and cricket?
