i used to dj for my high school in the mornings before homeroom. in the middle of playing pearl jam's "rearviewmirror" our vp of academics (very attractive woman) comes running up proclaiming that the lyrics surely said "time to masturbate," when it was actually "time to emancipate" -- not a good misheard lyric at an all-boy highschool
