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.

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 absolute favourite misheard lyric by Rihanna:

Wow, that's the Green Needle/Brainstorm thing all over again.

'Sounds like a planet' has tickled me. JUST SAY THE WORD!

I can only think of 'gannet', are they ornithologists?

Testina · 16/05/2024 14:11

I’m only here to ask which anus the OP is on…

no seriously - aside from the fact that you can type anus on here - it’s not even a swear word, though those are allowed too - I need to know in what dialect you can rhyme anus and planet!!!! 🤪

fancyfrogs · 16/05/2024 14:11

Oh this has really made me chuckle 😂😂

IDroveAllNightAndCrappedInYourRoomIsThatAlright · 16/05/2024 14:07

The song is about Aitch wanting a famous girlfriend

Ah, so definitely not the guy from Steps, then!

Is there not a union for pop singers with the equivalent of
Equity rules for actors, so that if somebody has already got your name, you have to use a different one?

The man from Steps already has H; the bloke from Jamiroquai
already has JK... but afaik 'I' is still available if this new chap wants it?

I love misheard lyrics - they're always guaranteed to entertanus!

A few years ago now i was a bit puzzled about what runtering was. Brian sounded very determined it should happen ...

Chris Moyles used to play Star Girl every Friday morning on the Radio 1 breakfast show.

"There's nothing on earth could contain us / When I fell in love with Uranus"

Well THAT’s hilarious! You do know that radio versions PARTICULARLY on BBC stations all either swap out a rude word for a clean version or drop the rude word entirely???

Never worked for Frankie Goes to Hollywood and Relax. Well I think it was Frankie but I'm never 100% on bands and songs

Runningbird43 · 16/05/2024 12:02

Me too! Then going through all the planets trying to figure out which one rhymes.

Anus doesn’t rhyme with any planet 😂

There's some Ed Sheeran song with the lyric "wonder if I could sneak out the back" and something about the way he delivers it always makes it sound like "wonder if fuck it sneak out the back" to me.

How can “ A list “ sound like anus?
Unless someone pronounces it as “Ayniss?”

In fairness H has the strangest mangled up voice, he sounds like he is swallowing his words up his nose and choking on them.

MermaidEyes · 16/05/2024 14:00

This reminds me of that advert years ago for learning English where the foreign family get in the car and the radio starts playing 'I want to fuck you in the ass' and they're all nodding along and smiling happily totally unaware 🤣

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.

Show quote history

🤣 “Took it at face value”?! No, you invented a new lyric in your head. That isn’t taking it at face value.

If anything, you took it at arse-about-face value. Or even up-the-arse-about-face value.

As " I got my first real.sex dream"!

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...

It's too hot to sleep

Rawrrr · 16/05/2024 13:45

Reminds me of an old Bruno Mars song where he says "You're my golden star"

I thought he said you're my golden shower
