"...into the Chicken Pin device..." What's your favourite mis-heard phrase? I used to wonder why my Tom Tom kept saying "David Essex" on the motorway, until I realised it was actually saying "take the exit". Maybe I should get my lug holes tested...
Back in the day I overheard some glam rock kids singing a Mott the Hoople song on the school bus."all the way to mansfield" doesnt quite have the same ring to it.
I always thought the hot chocolate song was I believe in Mirror coils..... It wasn't until I was a bit older singing along in public when someone pointed out the error of my ways
Dance dance wherever you may be I am the Lord of the Dance Settee. Absolutely convinced that was the lyric when we sung it at school. By the way, the first person to mention a Jimi Hendrix song on this thread gets a big QI klaxon and minus one million house points.
Madonna - like a virgin touched for the thirty first time Robert Palmer - Might as well face it, your a dick with a glove
That famous beat combo , The Police , used to sing a tuneful little ditty about pretty newscaster SUE LAWLEY ....
Paul Young used to sing "every time you go away, you take a piece of meat with you", which I thought was odd...
Something a bit more recent: I was wondering why Myles Kennedy was singing about getting off the ferry from France..... That was until I realised he wasn't singing about getting back from Calais......
For me it was R Dean Taylor's "there's a ghost in my house"..........for years I thought he sang "there's a ghost up my arse" A particular checkout operator (female) in Morrisons always said "would you like to put it in for me" when paying. No mention of a card. Err.........yes, actually
When Ghostbusters first came along I thought and used to sing when they say "who you going to call" I thought they said "those bastards" not "ghostbusters". How wrong was I.
Not forgetting Bachman Turner Overdrive "You ain't seen Nevin yet... B b b baby you just ain't seen N N Nevin yet..."
Jimi Hendrix.... "Scuse me, while I kiss this guy" Shania Twain "Come in my hair, do it again, o wa ho ho!" Monkees "Then I saw her face. Now I'm gonna leave her"
Pah - no Dexy's?!? I LOVE this song, the melodies, the brass, everything apart from Kevin Rowlands pronunciation. At 50 seconds - don't care what the lyrics are, he says effin school. Actual lyrics are: On a night when flowers didn't suit my shoes After a week of flunkin' and bunkin' school The lowest head in the crowd that night Just practicin' steps and keepin' outta the fights
I used to think that Don Henley sang "after the poison summer has gone" and the classic Stranglers lyric from Golden Brown was "Lays me down with my macherons" (Lays me down with my mind she runs!)
Sister sledge. "Just let me staple the vicar. We're giving love with a femidom." We are family..... Still a tune though
