We could start an entire thread on words that announcers have messed 
up!  Back when I was a disc jockey, I heard people regularly refer to 
the singer who did "Poetry Man," Phoebe Snow (say it: FEE-bee) as FOBE 
(rhymes with lobe) Snow. And then there was Melanie, with her song about 
Woodstock-- I actually heard her referred to as "mah-LAY-nee."  Oh dear.
