what an amazing thread. of course, I've never misinterpreted any lyrics myself - :) there is a whole song tho that I believe grew out of such phrases. For some reason I've seen it entitled "Jeep". It starts out, "One night, one more when I was born and the whistle went toot, toot[b] You could buy a snake or fry a lake when the mudpies were in bloom." It goes on in this vein thru three verses, never making any sense, but fitting the tune quite nicely.

What we will do to raise our voices in joyful harmony.
