Rock the Casbah misheard as Rock the cash-bar. I thought it was a song about people drinking and being punished for drinking. In my defense, I was 4, and sadly I knew what a cash-bar was.

    Probs a common one but when ever Blinded By The Light came on I only heard “woke up like a douche” instead of “revved up like a deuce”

      I heard, “Wrapped up like a douche,” which always went well with misunderstanding the lyric after it, “Another rumor in the night.” (Correct line is “Another runner in the night.”)

      I only knew about ‘deuce’ as a synonym for poop, when I first heard the song, which made it very confusing.

      Turns out it’s a pretty versatile word.
