I hear KC and the Sunshine Band's "Keep it Comin', Love" as "keep it common law." Because I assume the subtext of any disco song is legal theory. "Stayin' Alive" is against cruel and unusual punishment, right?

On Killing Joke's "The Great Cull," when Jaz growl-screams "thin the herd," I hear "Chips Ahoy!" So I'm going to make an exception to my hostility toward commercials co-opting resistant music and say that I want Nabisco to appropriate that one.

Ok so it's "Undead" and not "I'm dead" repeated a hundred times in Bela Legosi's Dead? Urghh

When I first heard "Rock the Casbah" I thought Joe was singing "The temple phantom five" and not "The temple band take five".

"The Temple Phantom Five" would be a cool name for a band especially if they were a four piece.

There's an ad for gum running that uses "Call Me Maybe," and instead of "Hot night, wind was blowin'," I always hear "Hot knifin'."

Maybe I've mentioned this but when I first heard Sonic Reducer I heard "don't need no human rice"
