They didn't actually say that, did they...

No, but I have these odd incidents of mishearing things (always have; it's nothing new), especially songs playing on the radio, or even in my head. I call them audible (as opposed to optical) illusions.
A classic example is the Lionel Ritchie song below, but the other one that's been in my head for years is called (best I can tell without googling it) All Right Now, which goes (in the original) "...we better move before they raise the parking rates..."
In my head, of course, it's always been "...we better move before they raise the fuckin' rent...", which is funnier.
My apologies to the writers of that song, but I like my version better.
