Glen Campbell's Rhinestone Cowboy: "And mothballs coming over the phone..."

Also, I knew Kenny Rogers was lamenting to Lucille about four hungry children but it sounded like four hundred children.

When Joe Cocker was singing Delta Lady I wondered what it had to do with "When I hold my gun in England".

    "Give Your Heart a Break" by Demi Lovato. The lyric in the bridge is "When your lips are on my lips," but EVERYONE I know, including myself, hears it as "When your lips are on my ass."

    I was around 3-4 years old when:

    220px-Smooth45.jpg

    came out and would always muck up the chorus by singing 'Smoo-ba-da-be-da' instead of 'Smooth Operator'.

    This isn't the same but Tony! Toni! Tone! has a song Slow Wine which should actually be called Slow Wind. The song is actually about winding up like a winding up a toy but no one caught the inaccurate spelling.

    I'm so used to that dance being referred to as 'wine' (I blame it on growing up on dancehall reggae) that I never gave 'Slow Wine' a second thought.

    I learned about winding before I knew about wine so I was clear on the difference in spelling very early. Some people are thrown by West Indian accents as if the people are speaking a language other than English.

    At 3:39 are they saying anything comprehensible?
