The wrong Lewis

About 20 years ago, I watched a friend rehearse songs for a production of "Beehive: The ''60s Musical."  One of her castmates had a monologue about listening to Jerry Lee Lewis on the radio; instead, she accidentally said she'd been listening to Jerry Lewis.

If you're over a certain age, you can guess what happened next.  The piano player stopped in midsong, the cast burst out laughing, and the music director belted out a loud "LAAAAAADY!"

To her credit, the castmate who slipped up laughed along.
