OK, So in the song by Aaliyah called "Try again" the chorus goes "(and) If at first you dont succeed, Pick yourself up and try again..."
And I heard " Freshy dawn Sa See, pick yourself up and try again..." And I didnt know how freshy dawn sa see, which made absolutely no sense, had anything to do with picking yourself up and trying again. But, hey, I was young at the time...

I wondered WHY and HOW "76 Strong Bones Led The Big Parade" when I was a little girl (song was popular back then). It was much later when I realized it was Trombones!
