Works the other way around as well. When I was a teen, I though Rage Against The Machine's "Killing in the Name" was asking where their sneakers are.

And now you do what they told ya

Ey Mann, wo issen mein Turnschuh?

"Dude, where is my sneaker (just one of the pair)"

As someone who has German as their second and English as their third language, I've never misunderstood that line like that. That's hella funny though.

That's brilliant! Are there any other songs which do similar?
