Vivid Memories #6

My brother managed to convince my sister that the lyrics to Steve Miller Band's "Jet Airliner" were 'they caught Jed in a line-up', and that the song was about Jed Clampett from the Beverly Hillbillies committing a crime and getting caught.
My sister used to sing KC and the Sunshine Band's "Shake Your Booty" as 'Shake Your Boobies', but I can't remember if it was on purpose or if she actually thought those were the lyrics.
In 1991 or so, I remember going into my brother's room and having him say to me, "when I point to you say the word 'booty', OK?" I agreed, and then he said "I once had a fetish, a fetish for some..." and then pointed to me. I completed the line by saying 'booty.' The only reason I remember this is because I discovered that song over a decade later ("Verses from the Abstract" by A Tribe Called Quest) and hearing that line triggered the memory. I feel like the odds of this happening are unbelievably slim.
When we first got internet access in 1996, the very first thing my brothers and I did was try and find out if the lyrics to the opening theme of "Good Times" were 'hangin' at a drive-in' or 'hangin' and a jivin'. (We never found the answer.) Hilariously enough, it's neither of those; the lyrics are actually 'hangin' in a chow line.'
When I was around 5 years old, I used to think the lyrics to AC/DC's "Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap" were 'Dirty Deeds and the Dunder Jeep', leaving me wondering what on earth a "dunder jeep" was.
