As a child, when I first became acquainted with the song, "Bring A Torch, Jeanette, Isabella", and for some time thereafter, I thought it was "Bring A Torch, Jeanette Is A Bella". I wondered what in the heck a bella could be. But I was sure it was something very evil, since the song seemed to be calling for someone to bring a torch to burn up Jeanette for being one!
