I used to love the song "Blaze of Glory" by Bon Jovi. When the song was around I though the lyric "I have an old coat for a pillow" was "I have an old goat for a pillow". Now obviously I thought he couldn't use a goat that was alive as it would be standing up and wouldn't make a very comfortable pillow - so I always imagined Bon Jovi lying in the desert sleeping on the ground using a dead goat for a pillow!
