David Byrne's, "Desconocido Soy"

Dicen que soy Jay Leno soy
Original Lyrics:
Dicen que soy Veneno soy
I thought he thought he was Jay Leno. (The lines would translate to 'They say I am/Jay Leno I am'.)
David Byrne's, "Desconocido Soy"
Misheard Lyrics:
Soy el corazon
Soy la Martina
Soy la Martina
Original Lyrics:
Soy el corazon
Soy la maquina
Soy la maquina
I thought David Byrne was saying 'I am the heart, I am the Martina'. Martina was the bass player for the Talking Heads. I was like 'Humm... He's her too?'
