Thread Name: Mistakes I Have Made When Listening To Songs
Subject: RE: Mistakes I Have Made When Listening To Songs
My brain is not connecting the hypertext link to the rest of the song this comes from, but I remember many years ago trying to transcribe the Beatles song with the words (approximately): "but if you go quoting the words of Chem and Mow, you ain't gonna make it with anyone anyhow" ... and wondering whether Chem and Mow were some famous singing group that I hadn't heard of yet ... it wasn't until much later that I realised this was "Chairman Mao" they were referring to!

(No, it's not folk, hope that's ok ... )
