| In Toto's Africa, I always thought he was singing, "As sure as Kilimanjaro rises like a lepus above the Serengeti," which never made any sense to me, as it looks nothing like a rabbit. It turns out he's singing, "As sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti." _________________ |

| Did anyone know that Dido was singing ‘I will go down with this ship’? I thought she was singing ‘ I will go down with fishes’. All these years I just thought she just had bad grammar and either a grasp of the absurd or was making references to mafia threats. |

Know all! Did you know that ABBA weren’t singing ‘I was in your ařşe, thinking I belonged there’? Because I didn’t for years. |

| I took it for granted that ABBA weren't singing such a line. _________________ |

| Misheard is not the right word. Misunderstood.
I never connected Kingston Town to Jamaica. I thought it was a song about the suburb. Actually, is it? |

| I'm fairly certain it's about Jamaica. _________________ |
