Sex & Shenanigans

When I was young, and didn't speak English very well, I thought Savage Garden's Animal Song went

"i want to live
lie cannonballs"

and had no idea what the song had to do with animals. My brain just decided that today was remembering-random-stuff-day so, here you go. I shared.

To be fair, lots of people speak English just fine and get song lyrics completely wrong. “Commonly misunderstood lyrics” is it’s own trivia genre

I had to google this...

This seems infinitely worse than my Cannonballs, but, maybe it's not?? Am I the same?? Oh god.
When I was a small child, I genuinely used to think Queen’s Another One Bites the Dust was actually “Another One Rides the Bus.” Then, one day when I was in my 20s, a friend selected Another One Bites the Dust on karaoke, but proceeded to sing the lyrics as Another One Rides the Bus. I was laughing so hard I was crying, to the point where he was singing specifically to me in a full house party toward the end. I thought he was fucking brilliant and making up the lyrics on the spot. Somehow, despite also liking numerous Weird Al songs, I had never heard his rendition of Another One Rides the Bus! 😅
