For years I thought that ABC's 'when smokey sings said 'When Smokey Sings, I hear violence', thinking that smokey drove people to fighting. My brother pointed out that it's 'I hear violins'. I reckon either makes sense though. No?

- My brother used to think "Kung-Fu Fighting" was actually "When It Comes To Fighting."— The Pacifist
