I was 18
before I realized Johnny Rivers was singing “Secret Agent Man”.
I thought he was singing “Secret Asian Man”. I kept waiting for Patrick McGoohan to take off his mask and suddenly be Wo Fat, or something, he didn’t even LOOK asian!

That’s ok, a lot of people heard Niel Diamond singing about “Reverend Blue Jeans”, and wondered why Hendrix was saying “‘Scuse me while I kiss this guy.” Those little transistor radios we had back then didn’t have the best audio in the world.
There’s a bathroom on the right!
Cut it out.
You’re not THAT retarded…
Let it rock, let it roll
Let the bottle bounce, come and save my soul
It wasn’t until in the early 90’s when Mellencamp did a reprise of this Jack & Diane line in another song When Jesus Left Brimingham that I learned it was Bible Belt, not bottle bounce.
my kids used to sing….gimme the Beach Boys and free my soul.
Can’t stop laughing.
