Okay, I've been reading along in the "Worst Pop Songs Ever" thread, and came across 2 that I remember from my childhood--songs where I totally misunderstood the lyrics! (Don't get me wrong. I remember more than 2 songs from my childhood. These are just 2 with goofy misunderstandings attached...) 1)Tie Me Kangaroo Down, Sport--we learned this in elementary school music class, and I thought it was a "TIMEY Kangaroo!" I could see, in my mind, a giant kangaroo with an oversized pocket watch on a chain...Although I now know the words, the visual image persists!!! 2)You're So Vain--"Well, you're where you should be all the time, and when you're not, you're with some underworld spy, or the WIFE OF A CLOTHESPIN, WIFE OF A CLOTHESPIN..." (for the uninformed, it's actually "wife of a CLOSE FRIEND.") Yep, I could see 'em, trotting 'round in their nuptial finery...

Anybody else have these persistent childhood mental images? Or am I the only one who misunderstands in pictures?
