My musical project back in Atlanta was doing a Corona song that was a parody of "Lazing on a Sunny Afternoon" by the Kinks. When I heard the first version, the singer has just gotten the melody and phrasing completely wrong. I told the rest of the people in Atlanta to do it over, remarking that it's almost as if the guy had never heard the original. He hadn't!!!

(go to "The Freedom Toast Songs" and it should be near the top)
