I'm sorry, but this isn't a misheard example - did anyone ever hear that the
60s song "Inna-gadda-da-vida" (sp?) was supposed to be "In the garden of
eden" but the guys were too stoned to enunciate, so they just called it what
it sounded like and everybody just thought it was some kind of mystic
symbolic thing ...
