A childhood belief about misheard lyrics

There's a (horrible) song by a band that my daughter listens to, and I thought went:

Woke up today
looking through my email
it's all triple x - explicit sex
But I'm not forty

and the real lyrics are:

Woke up today
looking through my email
it's all triple x - explicit sex
But I'm not horny

I thought maybe he thought that it was illegal to get those kinds of emails unless he was forty. I told my daughter, and she started laughing.

Hey, it's not like you can understand songs these days anyway.
