Rock the Casbah misheard as Rock the cash-bar. I thought it was a song about people drinking and being punished for drinking. In my defense, I was 4, and sadly I knew what a cash-bar was.

    The really incredible thing is that the song was originally called, ‘brown skinned girl’ but he changed the title in what’s considered a very lucky move.

    Same thing with the Rolling Stones’ Brown Sugar, which was originally ‘black pussy’.

    It’s a different category, as they’re not misheard lyrics, but yeah
