I was shown this awesome song by a friend recently. If you listen to the same song while thinking in English or Japanese it has a completely different meaning because they use words that sound like they could fit in both languages.

If you’re listening and thinking in English it’s a cheesy love song but if you’re listening and thinking in Japanese it’s a song about an exchange student living overseas.

For example, the title is 留学生 (pronounced as "ryuu gaku sei") but is heard in english as "You gotta stay"
Or another line in English is heard as "Hey, I need you here babe" but in Japanese you hear 部屋20平米 ("heya ni jyuu heibei"), which means "[my] 20-meter square room"

It's a well put together piece and it's quite catchy too.
