I, as a child, did a music class presentation on "my favourite song of the year" on this little ditty.
Whoops!
Edit: To clarify, then, much like now, I listened to the music and not the lyrics. I don't know if that's common at all, but the singing is basically another instrument to me, and I hardly ever pay attention to the actual words.
Much of the time I can't even make out the lyrics, so I listen to music the same way
I think it's fairly common to not always pay close attention to the lyrics. Most of the time, you hear a song on the radio, and you can't always make out what it's saying, but you're still able to enjoy the music and the singing melody. Until you pay more attention or you seek out the lyrics, then you're often surprised about what it's saying, cause the lyrics weren't the point when you used to listen to the song. It doesn't mean that it's world-changing or anything, but it just takes you by surprise.
I listen to music the exact same way. I will maybe pay attention to the chorus or catchy line, but a lot of lyrics are lost on me.
I'm the same way, actually.

Woo woo! Auditory Processing Disorder!
YEP.
Ok, uhhhh… you are saying here that difficulty understanding the words to music is an autism thing?
You're not alone there, snoop had an album come out the year before and after that both sold as explicit but that album didn't.
