One of the hymns we used to sing at church said, "fill the heavens with sweet accord, holy, holy, holy lord." When I was little I didn't know what "accord" was, and this led to some wierd associations in my mind. I knew that the type of jelly my family used in sandwiches was Concord, and that was the only other word I knew that sounded at all similar, so I figured that maybe this was just another way to pronouce it. It made sense to me, so I went along for years believing this hymn wanted God to fill Heaven with grape jelly.
