Many years ago, when we first got married, my wife and I were out at this 60's dance club in Philly called The Heartthrob Cafe. I'm not sure if it's still there in that form, but it was all decorated in 60's style and they played only 60's songs.While dancing to a classic Beatles song, I had my wife convinced that the lyrics were:"I'll never dance with your mother.... ooooh.... With your father standing there". Casey

One line I THOUGHT I was misunderstanding was in Alanis Morissette's "Thank You" - "How 'bout those transparent dangling carrots" - but it turns out that's exactly what she was saying!Kathleen
