Cast of 'Cats', "Jellicle Songs for Jellicle Cats"
Misheard Lyrics:
Can you ride on a broomstick to places far distant?
Familiar with Brummel, with Brooke and with Belle?
Original Lyrics:
Can you ride on a broomstick to places far distant?
Familiar with candle, with book and with bell?
Brummel, Brooke, and Belle have nothing to do with cats, each other, or anything else, so far as I can tell. Meanwhile candle, book, and bell are all items necessary for a traditional means of Roman Catholic excommunication, and by extension ideas about their use have spread, mutated and been widely misunderstood as items used in exorcising demons, summoning Satan or other devils/demons, or opening a gate to Hell, all of which uses can be related to cats in the context of their traditional role as witches' familiars.
