Wrong words/notes/lyrics on OBCs

I know there was a post about this a while back but I couldn't find it.... In "You Can't Stop The Beat" Harvey starts to say motion but changes it to beat, so its like "mobeeeaaatt..." Anyone else notice this? What are some others you have heard?

In the London cast recording of Fiddler, the woman who plays Golde -- I can't think of her name offhand -- comes in early in one spot on Tradition.

It's after the mommas sing their bit in Tradition, where there's those extra two beats before they sing "The mommas." You hear her say "The Ma-" during those beats.

eta: Oh yeah. Technically, that's not an OBC.

Aida...I think Sherie actually says something wrong. Or maybe it was the booklet. It was in "Every Story..." and something with "prayers", "players"...something like that.
This is my signature.

I believe there's also one on one of the Into The Woods cast recordings -- the London one, I'm pretty sure. It happens during near the end of the prologue when the Baker slips up on one of the lyrics.

I can't remember, but it might be on "To get the thing that makes it worth the journeying."

Why do I suddenly feel like one of those Star Trek fans who complains that Spock spoke the wrong phrase in Vulcan in Episode 99JE?

On the Spelling Bee OBC Marcy sings "Anything I do, I do without getting sore" Atleast, that's what it sounds like....However on the Spelling Bee clip here she says "Everytime I stretch, I stretch without getting sore" I've never seen the show. Can anyone explain this?
"While some feel it is a film related question, I seem to think it may be a 'I am thinking of losing my winkie' sort of question."

Cathywellerstein, lightS is correct (at least according to the vocal selections). The whole line is supposed to be "We can dance til it's lights find the prettiest girl." It's just awkwardly phrased, musically.

And theatrebabe, she does sing "stretch without getting sore" in the show. Not sure when or why they changed it, though.
