How I love these. My sister, as a kid, used to think the lyrics to Olivia Newton-John's "Magic" were:
Capture the leaves, we are magic...
which I always thought was rather poetic.
My all-time favorite, which still cracks my shit up after years and years and years, comes from a friend in high school. The song is "Demolition Man" by The Police. The song concludes with the lines:
I'm a three line whip, I'm the sort of thing they ban I'm a walking disaster, I'm a demolition man
Only Kate heard it as:
I'm a three line whip, I'm a sawed-off Ed McMahon I'm a walking disaster, I'm a demolition man
::collapses with giggles::
BTW, the "What's the frequency?" thing is explained here. (http://ask.yahoo.com/ask/20010619.html)
