A childhood belief about hymns

Up until tonight I used to think Silent Night went "brown young virgin" because Mary was from the Middle East.

When I was a kid we went to a church that had a bad overhead so everything looked blurry on it. It was complicated by my dad's bad eyes so when he would sing this one song he would sing "may it be a sweet, sweet sound in your car" instead of "may it be a sweet, sweet sound in your ear". He would sing it really loud too.
