When my 93 year old Granddad was a boy his favourite carol was "Hark the Harold (yes, Harold) angels sing"... He was sure they were singing about him as his name was Harold!
A childhood belief about hymns
others believed things like this
- our father which art in heaven,Harold be thy name— oddsox
- Did anyone else sing "Hark, the hairy angels sing"?— Jill
- I used to believe the angels were in the speakers at church because of the loud female voice singing.Anon
- When Madonna sang "let the choir sing" in "Like a Prayer", I thought she was singing "love by proxy"— Kristen
- My mum said that when I used to sing "noahs arc" at school I would sing "who built the arc, no one, no one"— Clare
- I was told that for every christmas carol i sang before christmas time santa would give me one less present!— K
