In Benny and the Jets by Elton John, I always thought the line 'He's got eletric boots and a mohair suit' was 'She's got electric boobs and her mom has, too.' As a kid, I kept wondering what electric boobs could possibly look like, and what kind of sad genetic defect it was that could affect a whole family. The REALLY funny thing is that without really talking about it, my sister misinterpreted the same line the same way. What a warped family I come from
