The one that sticks out for me was the Police message in a bottle I used to think he was singing
A year has passed since I broke my nose
Any others?

You have to be an oldie to appreciate this one: A song by the Sandpipers ( a famous Cuban song ) Guantanamera. My friends mother in all seriousness asked him why they were singing a song about One ton of marrows?
Also The Sidewinder Sleeps Tonite-----one line is it Calling Jamaica ( no ), calling don't wake her ( perhaps) or call me when you try to wake her ( that's what Wiki pedia reckons ). Good song, they need to improve their diction.

Poor old Freddie Mercury before he had his adenoids fixed used to sing; "Is this the real life? Is this just Battersea?"
(And then of course, "Beelzebub has a devil for a sideboard")
