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.

    FYi, these are called Mondegreens after a famous song that was mis-heard by pretty much everyone. I think it was Welsch.

    Mine is England Dan and John Ford Coley’s I’d really love to see you tonight.

    Thought he sang, “I’m not talkin bout my linen.”

    Instead of, "I’m not talkin bout movin in "

    Made up a whole story in my mind about how they met in a Laundromat.
