When I was a kid, my teen-aged sister and her girlfriend would sing the chorus of "Woman, Woman" by Gary Puckett & the Union Gap as "woman, have you got Gene on your mind?" (Her friend was going out with this one guy but also liked a guy named Gene.) It was at least 20 years later that I finally realized the line was "woman, have you got cheating on your mind?" And even though it's been 20 years since that realization, I still sing it with "Gene" in the verse.
