In Queen's 'Flash Gordon' theme, there's a bit where the evil queen (or whatever she is) does a talkie bit. I always thought she was saying 'Dispatch Warlock and Ajax to bring back his body', whereas my sister always believed it was 'Dispatch Warlocken agents to etc etc'. The dispute went on for years, until she met her future husband, who kindly pointed out that the actual words are 'Dispatch war rocket Ajax to bring etc etc'. Neither of us believed him, until we saw the film and discovered that there was indeed a rocket named Ajax in it, whereas there were no warlocken agents and nor were there any characters by the name of Warlock. Oh well, at least I got the 'Ajax' bit right.
