Am I the ONLY one who notices this?

Paging Josh Groban. I love your music. You have a beautiful voice and you sing utterly lovely songs.

However.

The word is MELODY. It is not LEMODY.

Everyone thinks I'm nuts, but I was just able to prove it to some of the teachers in the day care. That song he sings from The Polar Express, "Believe" or whatever it's called, he screws up on the first refrain. I don't know if he goofed up on the CD too, but the version they play on the radio, he sings, "...hear the lemody that's playing." He switches the m and l -- only the first refrain, though.

The first time I heard it, I thought I was losing it. Then I listened every time, and sure enough, I was right. He really does sing it wrong.

How could they release that to the radio stations and whatnot, and nobody's said anything? The song came out over a year ago. Why am I the only one (to my knowledge) who's caught it?

One of my favorite vocalists. I'm willing to forgive a letter switch as long as the pitch is on and the tonal quality is nice. English is one of those lovely languages where you can still be understood even when you sluff up the pronunciation.
