There was the C of E priest in, I think, Birmingham, who based a whole series of sermons on the lyrics from Meatloaf's "Bat out of Hell II".

The same applies if you are using a word processor to compose your comment, then copying and pasting the text—either turn off curly quotes and avoid using em-dashes, or edit your comment after pasting to get rid of them. Garbled comments usually get deleted.
