    You just understand them in your own way.

    When this first came out, we interpreted it as:

    Who? Who has? Who has fish? Who has fish from France?

      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)”

        As someone who has German as their second and English as their third language, I’ve never misunderstood that line like that. That’s hella funny though.
