I used to hear the Billie Jean lyric that goes “don’t go around breaking young girl’s hearts” as “don’t go around making young girls hard “. The first time I listened to ‘dude looks like a lady’ I heard “does your greasy grandma need a whore” instead of “her picture graced the grime on the door “. I heard “there’s nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do” in the song Africa as “there’s nothing that a hundred men on mars could ever do”.
