As children, my brother and I loved the song, "Our House" by Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young. The line, "with two cats in the yard" was misinterpreted by us...we loudly sang, "with two cats in the ARMY!" every time the song was played. It never made sense to me why two cats would enlist in the army, or why the family the belonged to would ship them off to war.
