Haha! "The Earl of Moray" was a tune I learned to play on the guitar years back. I never thought of the line that way, but you can be sure I always will *now*. Darn.

You know the song "You're the One that I Want", from the musical Grease? A friend of mine went for years thinking they were singing "You're the Wizard of Oz".
