When I was a little kid I remember standing in church and singing:
“It’s Spinach, It’s Spinach! Jesus paid it all, at Calvary, at Calvary!”
I just assumed there was a Popeye connection or something, like maybe Jesus pounded a can of spinach on the way out of the tomb and he went Popeye on all the Romans.
It wasn’t until later that I learned it was actually:
It’s Finished, It’s Finished! Jesus paid it all, at Calvary, at Calvary!”

When I was little, I thought it was weird that they would sing a hymn about women getting laundry from the clothesline.
Later I found out it was 'Bringing in the sheaves', not sheets.

"You and me endlessly".

When my son was around 5 years old or so, circa 1995, he was in the backseat belting out Don't rock the Juicebox. He had no idea what a jukebox was but he knew his way around a juicebox. I almost wrecked the car laughing so hard.

Do You Feel Like We Do from Frampton Comes Alive. The lyric was, "I want to thank you". The live audience thought he said...something else.

Early 80s out on a double date with my college roommate. He's in the backseat with his date, I'm driving and my date is the passenger seat. We're listening to the radio and Dance Hall Days by Wang Chung comes on and he starts singing outloud.
To this day I can hear him belting out the words,"Take your baby by the ears and tell her that her dog has fears."
