I used to belong to the papering service Audience Extras. This was back before the internet was really active. You called a phone number, and you listened to a message with the current offerings. Sometimes they had concerts, and the people who recorded the message didn't always know how to pronounce some of the names they had to say. I heard the usual mispronunciations of names like Debussy and Dvorak and they also had trouble with the name Edith Piaf (when a one-woman about Piaf was running).

But the funniest one I heard was when they had tickets for a concert at which Beethoven's Erotica symphony was to be played. (I'm not making this up, you know.)
