In the song "Another One Bites the Dust" by Queen, there's a part where he goes "Bite-ah the dust-ah!!' really fast, and once I was listening to it in the car with my mom, and I said, "doesn't it sound like he's saying 'I am adopted!'?"
Then (and I don't think I'll ever forget this) my mom laughed dismissively and said, "That's what he IS saying."
I still have no idea why my mom would think he was saying 'I am adopted!", especially since it makes absolutely no sense in the context of the song.
