I know to parallel sets of lyrics for almost all top 80s disco and soul songs: one actual, and one misheard, from when I was a child and didn't speak English.

I know to parallel sets of lyrics for almost all top 80s disco and soul songs: one actual, and one misheard, from when I was a child and didn't speak English. Only a few years ago I heard my all time favorite song growing up, except I now realize it's a female singer! Tracy Chapman tapes were very popular in Somalia, and I don't think any of us realized Mr Chapman was, in fact, a woman. Even when we have seen her pictures! She might have even looked "manlier" than most androgynous stars of that time.
