It happens all the time (there’s a bathroom on the right, anyone?)
The worst one I can think, for myself, was my confusion (and when it comes on the radio I still hear it) over Poker Face by Lady Gaga.
I mean, I know, ostensibly, that she’s saying P-P-P-Poker Face, but no matter how many times it comes on, or how hard I listen, it still sounds like F-F-F-Fuck Her Face.
And that’s not a slight, even though I think Lady Gaga is vastly overrated. It’s just how it comes across, every time.
No matter how much I try, how I tell myself what it actually is, it still sounds the same.
We hear what we want to hear, I guess?
