Mistakes in recorded songs you'e heard a million times

In Frank Sinatra’s recording of Kander & Ebb’s New York, New York, he forgets the line “cream of the crop” and so says “A-number one” a second time.

Good one! I always assumed he just really liked that phrase — that it crystallized the idea better than the other ones.

In his recording of Luck Be a Lady Tonight, he also flubs a line because he can’t decide to call Luck a girl or a dame.
“Luck let a gentleman see
How nice a g… a dame you can be”
