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.

"Exodus, move you funky people" is what I always heard (not "Exodus, movement of Jah people").

Also, I thought UB40 were singing "I'm a prima donna.."

Connor was my boyfriend,Connor was my cat.

Connor is a cat, pooing on my lap...

This thread has ruined Bryan Adams for me, with all his ‘sex dreams’ (from the five and dime no less) and runtering going on. Filthy devil.

Edited

I was a nerdy child and can remember working out that Bryan Adams wasn't old enough to have been a teenager in the summer of 1969, and wondering why he had chosen that particular year...

You could be right - I'm sure that if I can mishear "shits" for "sheets," then I can also mishear "too hard" for "too hot"!

Regardless: as far as I'm concerned, this is now a song about diarrhoeia.

Yep I agree. I know it’s sheets, but it sounds like shits, and he’s got a temperature so he can’t sleep. Amazing that he can think about his girlfriend while feeling so dreadful with diarrhoea on the floor.

Dunno, blurred lines was played constantly a few years ago without censorship and that included such charming lines as "I'll give you something big enough to tear your ass in two."

My Brother thought the old 1970’s song “Street Life” was “Street light “

Enunciation is everything 😂

He had no idea why a woman should be singing soulfully about Street- light

Brother was maybe 4 but still remembers - as do we.

My DD used to sing songs at Brownies, and there was a big favourite called I'm Bringing Home a Baby Bumblebee.

DD - up to the age of 12 when she left - was utterly insistent that the song was Bringing Home a Baby Bumhole Bee. Every week she belted out those lyrics, loud and proud.

I did try to explain it was bumblebee but she wasn't having it.

Thank you for your validation. There are threads on here about the rise in anl sx on girls as a standard part of sx which is why I took it at face value.

Is there something wrong with your keyboard?

apunnetofgrapes · 16/05/2024 15:15

This has got to be a wind up. Even if the lyrics were anus who cares if your child hears it? It’s literally an anatomical word lol. They will hear it one day.

NosyJosie · 16/05/2024 15:07

Come on Eileen, Blurred Lines, and other rape themed songs are all over the place.

I feel like a lot of songs are pushed onto artists and they didn’t write them.

My all time misheard line remains “Just let me staple the vicar” in We Are Family

I always thought that "leper messiah" in Ziggy Stardust was "leopard messiah" and i could visualise a giant leopard dressed in robes.

I love misheard lyrics aren't they called mondegreens or something similar? One of ones I especially like is Best of Burden "I'll Never Leave Your Pizza Burning" and even though I love the song and find it very emotional and beautiful, I do giggle to myself at the alternative culinary declaration of devotion

MrsMacGyver · 16/05/2024 14:55

When my daughter was little she used to sing “i’ve got all the dumplings” instead of “I’ve done all the dumb things”. I think it was a Paul Kelly song. To this day we all sing the dumpling version!.

What has this world come to.

In my day, swearing in music was unheard of. Naming body parts in songs is obscene. The point of music is to express oneself, not to name as many body parts as possible.

I'm sorry that you had to hear that xx

I know right "Head, shoulders, knees and toes" is a shocker of a song.

Stargirl, by McFly.

There’s nothing on earth that could save us, when I fell in love with Uranus.

Makes me laugh every time.

The Weeknd - Can't Feel My Face, I heard:

🎵And I know she'll be the death of me
At least we're Bobinogs 🎵

I mean, of course I knew that wasn't the lyric (it's at least we'll both be numb) but just preferred my brain's interpretation.

Bobinogs theme song

Oh, that's brilliant.

Mine is Jason Derulo, Want To Want Me. It starts off, "It's too hard to sleep, I got the sheets on the floor..." Except the way he says"sheets" really sounds like "shits." So every time that song starts on the radio, I hear: "It's too hard to sleep, I got the shits..." and I do a double take. Like WTF, Radio 1?! I don't need to hear about this guy's digestive disturbances...

See also cyndi laupers I drove all night for scatological confusion.

The lyrics are "and crept in your room" but it sounds like "crapped"
Always causes much hilarity if it comes on
The next line is "is that all right?"
We usually come up with some version of
"No its not you bloody psycho i dont want to wake up to some crazy woman shitting in a corner of my bedroom while singing to me."
Or "forget making love to me, go and get some carpet cleaner" or "Why did you drive all night if you needed the toilet so badly, you could have stopped for 5 minutes in the services?" Etc.
