Actually this was my daughter's belief as a 10 year old. We moved to Saudi Arabia while the Iran-Iraq war was going on. We listened to oldies quite a bit. She thought when the Beach Boys sang "Ba-ba-ba, ba-Barbara Ann" they were singing "Bomb-bomb-bomb, bomb Iran". I think she believed it up until a few years ago.
