Rock the Casbah misheard as Rock the cash-bar. I thought it was a song about people drinking and being punished for drinking. In my defense, I was 4, and sadly I knew what a cash-bar was.

    In the song “Edge of Seventeen” by Fleetwood Mac, the first line “Just like the white-winged dove”, I misheard as “one-winged dove” for years

      Oh man, I’m really sorry you spent so many years being sad because you kept thinking about a one-winged dove.

        I really thought the “Ooo, ooo, ooo” was the bird crying out because it lost a whole appendage 😅 I’m better at recognizing metaphors now
