When I was a teenager my friend's brothers-ages 8-9- thought that Eric Clapton's "Lay down Sally" was "Make a salad".it didn't matter that the next words were "and rest you in my arms" Still today when I hear the song I will sometimes hum to myself ".. make a salad" to see if I can * hear* what they heard.
