A childhood belief about misheard lyrics

This isn't MINE, perse, but it's still enough to make me go into fits of laughter whenever I hear the song:

My friend Hyatt and I were sitting in her room listening to the radio. The Beach Boy's song "Barbara Ann" came on the radio, and Hyatt began singing it phonetically. It didn't sound all that wrong until after the song was over.

"Alistaire? What's a boberanne?"

"I dunno."

"Because I have a theory. A boberanne is a pink flamingo wearing Mardi Gras beads and an ornate feathered-headdress."

".... Good call."
