Default Re: Songs with lyrics that you\'ve misinterpreted...

[ QUOTE ]
Led Zepellin -- "If you listen very hard, a Jew will bother you a lot" (If you listen very hard, the tune will come to you at last)

[/ QUOTE ]

Semi-related... I had a roommate in college who hadn't really heard any Grateful Dead before, and I listen to a fair amount (moreso then). After he had heard Franklin's Tower a number of times we had this conversation:
Him: "I though the Dead were supposed to be all peaceful and happy and stuff... why are their lyrics so angry and violent?"
Me: "Huh? what are you talking about?"
Him: "Well in that last song they keep talking about blowing away the Jews."
After thinking for a minute I realize he's talking about the repeated line of, "Roll away the dew," and I explain that to him.

Of course now about half the time when I hear that song I think about those lyrics.
