Well, I am definitely evil where dragging other people's minds down into the gutter with mine is concerned, and first encountered the Messiah in the sixth form where that chorus led to multitidinous adolescent sniggering, so there's a good chance it was me. Though not 100%, as I tend to spray punctuation round like a muckspreader rather than be picky about it.
I remember once after a rehearsal where we sort of mangled a beautiful 8-part motet by the composer Mouton, I posted on Facebook something like “All we like Mouton, even though we went astray” (Mouton being French for sheep).
I can't remember which evil shipmate once pointed out the importance of the comma in "...and we, like sheep... in Messiah. It came back to me while we were watching and listening to it last night. Judging by the look on the face of one of the second violins, she'd had the same thought.

Apropos commas in the wrong place, there's this from Shakespeare's Henry V:
"But when the blast of war blows in, our ears then imitate the action of the tiger."
