Misheard Lyrics Story:

"The Letter"

Misheard Lyrics:

Jenny thinks trick-or-treat's an aeroplane.

Original Lyrics:

Gimme a ticket for an aeroplane.

Story about this misheard lyric by: Franchesca Rollins

Yep, that's what I thought it said the first time I heard it. Even after I knew that wasn't the right words, I'd still sing it that way to aggravate my cousin. It ended up making her insist on being called Jennifer rather than Jenny.
