I believe you’re referring to Englad Dan and John Ford Coley’s song, I really want to be with you tonite. The actual lyric is, “ I’m talkin about movin in.” I looked it up a few years ago because I too thought is was was about the linen.

Oh ... I thought they were Periodic Table nuts and were singing “I’m not talking about Molybdenum“.

The Go-Go's Our Lips are Sealed, I thought was "Honest I Feel"!

Really, the way they sing it, the words are interchangeable!

Samuel L. Jackson gets it wrong in "The Long Kiss Goodnight". Geena Davis straightens him out.

My mom used to sing "I'm not talkin bout millennium." I gave her the correct line and she said she preferred her interpretation better. I kind of agreed.

The word for misheard lyrics is "mondegreen". I nominate any REM song.

OK, I'm probably the only one in the known world that misheard this but here goes.

More Than A Woman by the BeeGee's.

For years this is what I heard: 4-letter Woman.

I did often wonder about it but just accepted it until one day I realized I was mishearing it!
