Rock the Casbah misheard as Rock the cash-bar. I thought it was a song about people drinking and being punished for drinking. In my defense, I was 4, and sadly I knew what a cash-bar was.

When I worked at a grocery store I always heard ‘I hope you dance’ as ‘I want you dead’. The pa speakers were kinda shit and when the song eventually came up on radio on the drive home I was like “ooooooohhh!” out loud in the car by myself because I was wondering what it could possibly be since it was obviously not what I heard it as.
If we’re thinking of the same song:
I want you deeeeead (time is a wheel in constant motion)
I want you deeeeead (always rolling us along)
I want you deeeeead (tell me who wants to look back on their years)
I want you deeeead (and wonder where those years have gone)
I could never make out the other lyrics either but that is the song
It loses a bit of the poetry on her part, but it still works.
