When I was little I heard "The 12 Days of Christmas" and I thougt the line,"a partridge in a pear tree" was, "a partra jennapear tree". I always wanted to know what kind of tree that was. Also, when my mother was little she heard "who wrote the book of love" as, "who wroter the moo cow now".
It's weird how it makes sense at the time and only seems silly in retrospect
