I had a toy called Learn Through Music which had cartridges with pictures that would go into a toy with a touchscreen and buttons. The cartridges would be based on popular children's tv shows. My younger siblings would play with it for years. Now here's the belief!
The demo cartridge had samples of the Spongebob cartridge, one slide had him singing about what over, under, and through mean. Part of the lyrics (to the tune of Johnny Comes Marching Home) were:
"Under means go below below, below. Over means go above above, above."
I thought he was singing "underneath" and "overneath"! I knew that overneath wasn't a real word, I thought it was just part of Spongebob's usual silliness. I only realized my mistake in recent years!
