Heh!
Sousa deliberately did something like that with the Washington Post March introduction: the hard hits on the 2nd beat were meant as a "turn around the beat" joke to confuse the dancers once the main melody starts.

Had a band leader who sang Take Me Out To The Ball Game displaced by one note.

Originally the tunes were called "One Step" or "Two Step" and there was a ballroom dance to them.

[quote="harrisonreed"][size=150]Once you hear "The Mexican Hat Dance" shifted left one Eighth note, starting on the downbeat, you can never unhear it shifted left one eighth note.[/quote]
I have been teaching this song to 4th grade instrument classes for about 30 years. They shift the rhythms left and right in eighth notes, quarter notes, dotted quarter notes, etc...... They also shift the pitches up and down every possible interval you could imagine (in other words, they play more wrong pitches than correct pitches).
I am choosing to "unhear it" this year. It's called retirement!
