no, i don't.
but on "fresh air" today, some singer was interviewed (sorry, so sketchy on details). he was born in germany, and grew up listening to american show tunes. his english wasn't always so good, so apparently he misinterpreted certain lyrics. example (hard to believe): judy garland in "wizard of oz":
the "true" lyrics?: "i wish i wish upon a star..."
this guy's misinterpretation: "i wish i was a porno star..."
actually, the latter (mis)interpretation betrays, not a failing in english, but a wicked sense of humor...
funny, but if you take that disney song sung by that cricket (oh, my conscience is buzzing!), and make a similar modification, boy does it change the meaning of the song!
"when you wish a porno star
makes no difference who you are
anything your heart desires will
come to you."
