[QUOTE=Tully Mars]  
This is a little weak, but I’ve always think WTF??? when I hear “Ventura Highway” with the line “… alligator lizards in the air …”

With my limited knowledge of Spanish, this translates as “… the lizard lizards in the air …” from the department of redundancy department.

Now I’ll be playing that crap in my head all day.

FWIW, according to Wikipedia, the songwriter saw some clouds in the sky while driving said highway and thought they were shaped like said lizards.
