I have a vivid memory from age three. My memory of Paul McCartney singing "Band on the Run" is inextricably linked to seeing a rabbit run through my back yard. I thought Paul was saying "Ban" which is another word for rabbit, like bunny. Consequently, Paul was singing about the "Ban on the Run" that I was seeing in my lawn.
