When I was little, VERRRY little I misheard some part of the chorus to Smells Like Teen Spirit. I heard "A POTATO!" I always called it the potato song

I thought in Snows song Informer, he was saying Farmer.

Ha, yeah, same here. Although I thought it had something to do with what the media writes and "how it's percieved", or some shit like that.

"I've been waiting for a guy to come and take me by the hand, will these sensations make me feel the pleasures of a normal man?"

yep. i thought that too.

there's a girls against boys lyric that goes "way into the trance thing" but i thought he was saying "we're in the trash bag" which is cool so i used it as an album title.

"inside my head my dog's a bear, and she was significant" (in i'm insane off bad moon rising)

the end sounds like "i shoot significant"

my old band was subsequently called shoot signifcant.
whoops.

I used to think the line in Public Enemy's "Rebel Without A Pause" ("That's the reason they're claimin' I'm a violent") was: that's the reason they played it on a violin.
