When I was little, I thought that the song "This Old Man" ended with, "Knick-knack, patty-whack, keep it on the phone" (instead of "give a dog a bone"). My little brother (two years younger) picked it up from me, and once I found out the truth, it took me the longest time to convince him of the real words. :)
