I loved the song “Voices Carry” by Til Tuesday when I was a kid. For YEARS I thought they were saying, “Hush, hush, keep it down now, this is Carrie.” It wasn’t til I was in my teens that I realised it was “voices carry.” DUH.
And when “Livin La Vida Loca” came out, the line “Lips are devil red” – I thought he was saying, “Lips like deviled eggs.”
