Works the other way around as well. When I was a teen, I though Rage Against The Machine's "Killing in the Name" was asking where their sneakers are.

And now you do what they told ya

Ey Mann, wo issen mein Turnschuh?

"Dude, where is my sneaker (just one of the pair)"

That's brilliant! Are there any other songs which do similar?
