I can't recall any trouble with folk songs, which are usually sung fairly clearly, but I have had trouble with pop songs.For years I thought that the line "And the moon is the only light you'll see" in Ben King's "Stand By Me" was "And the moon is the only flying pussy", and couldn't figure out what that was supposed to mean. Some obscure Southern slang, I thought.
When I was younger we tried to play the Stones' "Beast of Burden". The singer was French and had got the lyrics from listening to the LP. He came out with "I don't want your pizza burnin'".
