When I was little, I went to camp for a week. We sang songs every night, and I remember one in particular... part of the lyrics go, "And my father wants me wed..." (as in married). Well, I always heard- and sang- "And my father wants me dead..." One of the counselors overheard me and thought I had, and I quote, "some kind of problem."
