Until, uh, last night I thought that Belle and Sebastian were singing about louvredors rather than "louvre doors:"

"Now the centre of my so called being is
The space between your bed and wardrobe with the louvre doors"

I guess I kind of pictured there being a group of louvredors (like matadors?) being in that space. It wasn't until I went to look up 'louvredor' that I realized there was no such thing.

Ha! Those are fantastic. Poor little monkey.

I used to think (until, like, a few weeks ago) that that same line in "Michelle" started "sunday, monday..."

The Beatles' song "Michelle." I always thought the French lyrics "sont des mots qui vont très bien ensemble" were actually saying "someday monkey won't play piano song."

And who can forget the classic "There's a bathroom on the right" (for "There's a Bad Moon on the Rise") and "'Scuse me while I kiss this guy" (for "'Scuse Me While I Kiss the Sky")?
