Can’t believe these lyrics I heard on Radio 1

I was listening to Radio 1 with children in the car and I had to turn it off.

Attracted to your status, maybe your a* (sounds like a planet)

Who is this H? I’m surprised the BBC let it through.

lol at this thread 🤣 love misheard lyrics.

I still rib my dh for thinking it was ‘Robert DeNiro’s waiting… Talking to Tanya’ in that Bananarama track!

And in the little Mermaid "pregnant women, sick of swimming" which turned out to apparently be "bright young women", but even on a youtube video feat. Euguene from the Try Guys, they had heard the same misheard lyrics 😂

Remember when the Queen said she had an anus horribilis?

IDroveAllNightAndCrappedInYourRoomIsThatAlright · 21/05/2024 10:18

I am NOT unreasonable, saying we abhor nasty gutter-speak.

Or, to put it more succinctly, IANUSWANG.

OP, if you love anuses that much, I'm sure you can find a song that's actually about anuses 😆

I hadn’t realised I could type anus and it would be fine - I thought Mumsnet might be like the Daily Mail where they censor anything other than bugger.

You can even type cunt to your hearts content.

But you heard "maybe your a* (sounds like a planet)" and that poster heard "maybe your a&@£"

They're not even similar.

How are you pronouncing a&@£ ?

Well, if you're insistent. Are you hearing

Maybe, you're anus.

Or

Maybe your anus?

One is a bit insulting, depending on how you feel about anuses, which I'm guessing isn't fond. And the other sounds like a bit of a come on.

It is just you btw.

GrandTheftWalrus · 20/05/2024 21:26

Louder for those in the back:

The fucking word is ANUS!

Brian Adam's 'I'm Gonna Runter You' is one of the best things I have read for a while!

Lets all say the word!
URANUS!

It's like in The Thin Blue Line where DI Grim said to Inspector Fowler, meaning a case he was on, ''It's my arse and I'm not havin' you stickin' your nose in an' sniffin' about!"

Ooh, Grim had lots of hilarious lines of that sort!

I also loved the 'intimidating' technique they employed to psyche out the criminal by banging on a drum and singing "Naughty man, naughty man, go a-way!" (to the tune of Patt-a-cake Baker's Man)!

Years ago we had the lovely Billie Jo Spears with Blanket On The Ground and Herman's Hermits with Something Tells Me I'm Into Something Good.

Now we've got Nicki Minge with Feeling Myself where she rambles on about jacking off and Black Eyed Peas!

Hilarious.

My ex became a massive fan of David Bowie in childhood. He was a teenager when he realised Ziggy Stardust had been making love with his ego and not his eagle 😆😆😆

A friend thought Kenny Rogers subject of the song 'Lucille' had 4 hundred children, not 4 hungry children.

The full (alternative) line -" You chose a fine time to leave me loose heel, with 4 hundred children and a crap in the field". I cannot hear this song without singing these words even when I know the right ones.

IDroveAllNightAndCrappedInYourRoomIsThatAlright · 20/05/2024 10:20

And as if it wasn't enough for her to leave him with 400 children, the crap in the field really was the very last straw!

Until three days ago I thought Taylor swift's song Karma was saying Connor.🤣🤣
Connor was my boyfriend,Connor was my cat.

I thought these were the lyrics until I read your post!! 🤣

This made me laugh! 😂 my partner recently found out that the lyrics were
murder on the dance floor, you better not kill the groove
and NOT

theres mud on the dance floor, you better not break the broom 😂

Popular songwriters don't tend to use proper anatomical terms for body parts, do they?

Not even WAP uses any kind of proper terms, although it uses a lot of others 😂

I'm particularly fond of this which made it through to the radio edit (despite about 75% of the lyrics being blanked out)

I want you to park that big Mack truck right in this little garage

My favourite is "pull up to my bumper " by Grace Jones. No subtlety at all!

Pull up to my bumper baby
In your long black limousine
Pull up to my bumper baby
And drive it in between

We don't hear Total Eclipse Of The Atrial & Ventricular Circulatory System.

We don't hear I Like Big Gluteus Maximi And I Do Not Lie.

We don't hear Lacrimal Secretions Of A Clown.

Likewise, we can be confident that, if Aitch were wanting to reference the anus, he would, beyond a shadow of a doubt, have instead employed a beautiful, romantic, poetic rendering, such as 'Rusty Sheriff's Badge', 'Crinkle Crimper' or 'Tea-towel Holder'.
