I used to think the oldie, secret agent man, was secret asian man. I couldn't figure out why they were taking away the poor asian men's names and giving them numbers in place. o.O And system of a down byob Instead of 'why do they always send the poor, I thought poor was pork. Those are the two most prominent mishaps that stick out in my mind, I'm sure there are many more

“Its too late to form a child,

Its too late”



When in fact it was

For years I thought Prince's song "Little Red Corvette" was "Baby, cool it". My husband heard me singing it and fell over laughing.

I once though a song was saying, "Where'd you go, unless you sew, seems like it spins a river." when it was actually saying, "Where'd you go, I miss you so, seems like it's been forever."

LMAO! I've had my share of that!

It was a song by Greenday.

"I am one of those melodramatic fools/Neurotic to the bone, no doubt about it...."

And I thought it was "we're going to the boat!"
