What invariably happens is some people get cute and start making up some harmonies, and as time goes on more and more people start singing the "harmony" part, until it gets to the point where everybody is singing the "harmony" instead of the true part.
It just needs a reset. The funny thing is, when I was in the band, we had to go through a reset as well...
The first part the melody deviates today is right at "25 feet from the Hillcrest track". (it doesn't go up)
Then again at "I'd be just as sassy as a Mustang lassie". Then, once final time, at "There's a chick waiting there".
The two recordings I have are Mustang Jazz and Red Hot 'n' Blues, and I am sure there are more!
Go Ponies!
