I was in the car with my parents when I first heard Elton John's "Candle in the Wind" Maybe the speakers weren't up to par, but I swore he was saying, "Tungla, the bungle whale"
One day, many weeks after that I mentioned it to my mother and asked about that whale named Tungla. It has been a family joke for years.
