The 10 Most Misunderstood Song Lyrics Of All Time
What would “wrapped up like a douche” even mean?
"Purple Haze"–Jimi Hendrix
What You Heard: "Excuse me, while I kiss this guy."
What He Says: "Excuse me, while I kiss the sky."
Jimi may have been into some funky stuff, but in this song the only thing he wants to get funky with is the sky!

"All You Need Is Love"–The Beatles
What You Heard: "All you need is love."
What They Said: "All you need is blood."
Obviously, you need more than love. A lot more. Like blood. Weirdly, the song's official title also contains the misheard word "Love." Love really isn't even that important in life.

"We Found Love"–Rihanna ft. Calvin Harris
What You Heard: "We found love in a hopeless place."
What She Says: "We found [INAUDIBLE] in a hopeless place."
You can't just "find" love. I mean, who knows if love really even exists? So RiRi must have meant something else. Maybe she found gloves? Or lugs, aka luggage?
Finding lost luggage - now that would be something worth writing a song about.

FBI Director Calls Out "Unconscious Biases" Among Police Officers
FBI Director James B. Comey delivered a blunt speech on race and the justice system on Thursday, saying law enforcement authorities needed to address “hard truths” of unconscious biases, cynicism, and “lazy shortcuts.” He even quoted from Avenue Q.

FBI Director James Comey said Thursday that "unconscious biases" and "lazy shortcuts" have helped drive a gap between law enforcement and the communities they serve around the nation.
He also said it was "ridiculous" that there is not comprehensive data collection of the number of people killed by police officers every year.
Although the topic of race, police, and law enforcement's use of force has been addressed previously by Attorney General Eric Holder and President Obama, Comey's speech at Georgetown University was the first time a director with the FBI has publicly addressed these issues.
"With the death of Michael Brown in Ferguson, the death of Eric Garner in Staten Island and the angry protests around the country, and the assassination of NYPD officers Wenjian Liu and Rafael Ramos, we are at a crossroads," he said.
Comey noted the disconnect between some minority communities and law enforcement authorities, while still urging people to understand the "frightening and difficult work" that police do "to keep us safe."
He urged for a national conversation to bridge the gap between communities of color and law enforcement to address "hard truths."
Appointed to lead the FBI in 2013, the director even quoted a song from the musical Avenue Q – "Everyone's a Little Bit Racist" – to point out that biases in the public and within law enforcement must be confronted.
"Look around and you will find no one is really color-blind. Maybe it's a fact we all should face: Everyone makes judgements based on race," the director quoted.
"You should be grateful I did not try to sing that," he quipped.
Comey's comments follow the killings of Eric Garner in July and Michael Brown in August. Both men were unarmed, and the decisions by two grand juries not to indict the officers involved sparked protests throughout the country.
"All of us in law enforcement must be honest enough to acknowledge that much of our history is not pretty," he said.
Communities had a right "to protest peacefully and convey frustration and even anger in a constructive way," he said.
The lack of comprehensive national information on the number of people killed by law enforcement helped spur the frustration of communities, he said, and pushed ideological arguments instead of an informed debate.
"You could tell me how many people, the absolute number, bought a book on Amazon," he said. "It's ridiculous I can't tell you how many people were shot by police in this country last week, last year, the last decade. It's ridiculous."
Some law enforcement agencies provide data on justifiable homicides, but the information is voluntary, is not provided by all departments, and is not detailed and accurate.
"I wanted to see trends, I wanted to see information" on African-Americans shot by police, Comey said.
"They coudn't give it to me," he said. "The first step to understanding what's happening in our communities and in our country is to gather better data."
Comey also addressed the topic of police militarization, arguing that "we in law enforcement need this stuff, unfortunately."
However, law enforcement agencies needed better training in how and when to use the equipment, he said.
Using tanks during peaceful demonstrations, or using a rifle's scope to look into a crowd, he said, "That's where it breaks down."

Megan Huntsman Pleads Guilty To Killing Six Infants
Huntsman admitted she killed six infants that she gave birth to over a decade. She will be sentenced on April 20.
Pool / Reuters
Megan Huntsman, the Utah woman who was arrested last year and accused of killing newborn babies, pleaded guilty on Thursday morning to killing six infants, Utah County Attorney Jeff Buhman told BuzzFeed News.
In the plea deal, Huntsman, 39, admitted to giving birth to six babies between 1996 and 2006, and then strangling or choking them to death.
Huntsman first admitted to police that she killed the newborns shortly after she was arrested in April 2014, the Pleasant Grove police department told BuzzFeed News. Her story never changed over the course of the investigation, Buhman stated.

In April, Huntsman's estranged husband found an infant's dead body in a box in their garage and called the police. Investigators then recovered six other bodies.
The seventh baby was stillborn, Huntsman told investigators.
Huntsman's bail was set for $6 million, with $1 million for each murder charge. She is the only suspect in the deaths of the infants. Her husband and three daughters were investigated but not charged, and police said that the family had been cooperative throughout the investigation.
Huntsman will be sentenced April 20 and faces up to life in prison.
