I loved the song "Flying North" by Thomas Dolby as a kid. When I was about nine I was listening to the song one day and it suddenly struck me; there was a bad word in the song! The line was "N*ggers steaming in the chilly air of the morning." I was so shocked, I couldn't stop crying. However, on further listen, I concluded that the word must have been "knickers" to make "Knickers steaming in the chilly air of the morning." Ahh, I was a lot happier after that.
(It's actually "Lincoln".)
