I've been hearing "We Fly High" by Jim Jones on the radio all the time and had always thought he was saying, "BOWLING!!" I only learned just recently that he's actually saying, "BALLING!!" and doing the basketball free-throw motion. I hadn't actually seen the music video until recently, when this epiphany dawned on me. My logic at the time was that perhaps he was balling so hard, that he was using bowling balls.
This reminds me of the rap song "Tipsy" by J-Kwon. For an untold number of years, I've been hearing that song at parties and clubs. I had thought he was saying that "everybody in the club gettin' tips" and assumed he was trying to say that he was so wealthy, he could afford to just hand out money to total strangers at the club. I only realized my mistake after a friend of mine sent me the song, and I saw what the title was. I should add that the whole song has an intro where J-Kwon is encourages underage drinking, a part that isn't usually played at parties/clubs.
This makes me wonder how many other songs in other genres have completely gone over my head.
