For years I heard Jeru's line in come clean:

Control the mic like fidel castro locked cuba/so deep that you can't scuba dive

as one thought, like as though fidel castro had made it impossible to scuba dive, and this made no fucking sense to me. Finally realized that they are two separate points.

Gary Puckett's 'Woman Woman', which I assumed for approximately forever was called 'Jeannie' or something similar, per the lyrics 'have you got Jeannie on your mind?'

belle&sebastian - “I believe in traveling light”… never paid attention to the lyrics, it never occurred to me that he was talking about packing for a trip and not ummmm photons or something.
