Musical lyrics you don’t really get?

It happens to the best of us. There’s a lyric that feels like it means something, and you can’t figure out what that something is. You try to look it up, but sources like Genius Lyrics don’t help because your song isn’t well known enough to have every lyric annotated.

Let’s help each other out, or share our misunderstandings or stories, and have a gay old time.

I’ll go first - the line “I played the odds against him and we ate ice cream every night!” In You Can’t Have Me (If You Don’t Have Him) from Sone Like It Hot always perplexed me. What are you talking about? Where did ice cream come from?🤣
