I used to think that the beach boys song "Barbara Ann" was "Bob Bob Baran" and that they were talking about a guy in the song, which made perfect sense to me because for the longest time I thought that the Beach Boys were girls (becuase of their voices). I didn't find out it was Barbara Ann until one day I asked my mom when I was about 12 why a guy named Bob, Bob Baran would "lick someones hand" (I thought it was "...he licked my ha-a-and..") and she cleared me up....
