I have quite a reputation amoung my longer-standing friends for
misunderstanding lyrics, mostly because I feel that most of the stuff
on the radio isn't worth paying attention to.  My favorite
misunderstanding, from a few years back in the chorus of "I'd Really
Love to See You Tonight" (if that's even the correct title):

	"I'm not talkin' 'bout Bolivians"

(I believe the real line is "I'm not talkin' 'bout movin' in."  I
never bothered to really check, though.)  More recently, I couldn't
understand why Sting was singing about how his "pool hall aches"...

Someday I'll clean the wax out of my ears,
