I always thought in Bon Jovi's Its My Life he was saying "like Frankenstein, I did it my way"

Actually same song, when I was much younger I thought the line "For Tommy and Gina, who never backed down" was "For Tommy and Gina, who milked that cow". Thought it was some weird way of saying they grinded it out to get where they are now or something.

When I was a kid, before I knew a lick of English, I heard Enya's Orinoco Flow's "sail away, sail away, sail away" refrain as "se oli veesee, se oli veesee, se oli veesee".
For those who don't know Finnish, that's "It was a toilet, it was a toilet, it was a toilet".
