When my mom was a little kid she heard a song called "I"ll See You Tonight" a lot. She always wondered what the guy singing meant when he sang,
"I'm not talkin' 'bout the linen..."
It was not until college that she was told it was actually
"I'm not talkin' 'bout movin' in..."
A childhood belief about misheard lyrics
others believed things like this

people with mullets were "in- betweeners" as in not boy nor gurl.— Kristen - When I first heard the song "Constant Craving" by KD Lang, I thought she was singing "God save gravy."Anon
