It's funny, it's weird, and it gives us a believably grimy future world that actually looks like it'd be fun to live in. Considering I saw it in theaters when it came out, the fact that it's been 20 years since its release makes me die a little on the inside. This does, however,

By Devin
Part of the power of music comes from how we connect with it, and the meaning we take from it. Whether it's a love song, a generational anthem, or a nostalgic look back on youth, the stories behind the song and its lyrics are what help us connect with them. But sometimes, an urban legend gets out of hand, or we misunderstand a lyric and get the whole thing wrong. Luckily, we have the Internet to help set us straight, so we don't need to keep living a lie. Here are 9 examples of songs that we've been getting wrong
