I read a book on misinterpreted song lyrics once, and Bad Moon Risin' was
in there. "There's a bad moon on the rise", was heard by enough people as
"There's a bathroom on the right" to make it into the book! That's what I
was getting at :-)

Green River, huh, Chuck? Good choice. I'll second it.

Two Honorable Mentions:

------ Big Yellow Taxi by Joni Mitchell -----
They took all the trees, put 'em in a tree museum
And they charged the people, a dollar and a half just to see 'em
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you got 'til it's gone?
They paved Paradise, put up a parking lot.
Hey Farmer, Farmer, put away your DDT now
Leave me scars on the apples, but leave me the birds and the bees (please)
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you got 'til it's gone?
They paved Paradise, put up a parking lot.

------ Mercy Mercy Me by Marvin Gaye -----
Oh mercy, mercy me
Things ain't what they used to be, no no
Radiation under ground and in the sky
Animals and birds who live nearby are dying
Oh mercy, mercy me
Things ain't what they used to be
What about this overcrowded land
How much more abuse from man can she stand?
