The three singing forks

I've been learning Spanish for several years now and consider myself quite reasonable at expressing myself and general conversation. However, it never pays to become overconfident.During a group conversation about music I proudly announced that I had been to an outdoor concert to see Los Tres Tenedores. I couldn't understand why I brought the conversation to a complete stop, but the puzzled looks told me something was wrong. Keen to explain, I said: 'You know, Pavarotti, Carreras and Domingo'. It was then explained to me that what I had seen was Los Tres Tenores, 'The Three Tenors' and not 'The Three Forks'! We were in Andalucia but I swear you could hear the laughter in Madrid!
