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.

Mostly. No it's not a shocker that you didn't know. It's the trying to smooth it over with "heard it from loads of people" that's funny 🤣

You just haven't.

Why haven't I heard it from others? I don't even care😒

Because PP on this thread have said he writes like that.

You should listen to the lyrics of "My G". It's about his little sister who has Downs Syndrome. It's lovely.

Oooh so edgy🙄 I'm a metal head so not really a shocker I don't know the lyrics to a shitty 80's pop song

Show quote history

I’m a metalhead too and I listen to 80s pop every day, the two are not mutually exclusive 😂😂😂😂

Edgy indeed.

You didn't know who he was - You thought his name was 'H'
Now all of a sudden you're an expert in his music catalogue and how he composes his lyrics.

"This is hilarious, I can’t stop singing it. ‘Robert De Niro’s waiting, talking to Tanyaaaaa’ 🤣🤣🤣 why would that even be part of the lyrics!? So funny."

Pmsl and then @Devilsmommy trying to smooth it over with "oh I'd just heard Tanya from sooooo many people" 🤣🤣 yeah fucking right.

Runter you 🤣

I disagree. If the artist has form for writing perverted lyrics then he will have carefully chosen seemingly harmless lyrics which are in fact homophones so yes he might like her A List but he knows we will mishear it as an*s and that is his point.

The word is fucking ANUS

I genuinely think "The Word is Fucking Anus" should be the name of the UK Eurovision song next year. It could be sung by H and he and his backing dancers could all wear tracksuits with asterisks all over them.

BustyLaRoux · 17/05/2024 12:28

I just came here to say you’re ALL ANUS!!!!

GrandTheftWalrus · 17/05/2024 12:18

Brilliant @KAT0779 😅
Glad I'm not alone thinking that.

I was convinced for years that Randy Crawford was singing to a lamp post.
'Street light! Street light!'

I've just had a flashback from over 20 years ago, in the car with my ex and this song was on and he was singing "streetlights" haha suppose it does sound like that.

TallulahBetty · 17/05/2024 11:30

OP, why do you keep starring out letters? You really cannot bring yourself to type sex, anus, etc? Get over yourself

FuzzyCaoraDhubh · 17/05/2024 11:22

I love Hey there amigos 😅

Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds - The girl with colitis goes by

I always mistook the word 'parking' from Alright Now by Free - as in Let's move before they raise the parking rate - for another word, and was amazed that they so happily played it on daytime radio.

Also, listen here from 1:58 - Frankie Valli clearly singing "Give me a feckin' turnip!"

The Four Seasons - Let's Hang On (Official Audio)

You're listening to the official audio of "Let's Hang On" by The Four Seasons originally released in 1965Subscribe to the Rhino Channel! https://Rhino.lnk.to...

I did a double take recently when my kids were watching youtube and the new lucozade advert was on (the one where they are playing basketball). I was horrified the rap was saying "f off f off" and it turned out it was "rock off"!

@IDroveAllNightAndCrappedInYourRoomIsThatAlright I have to ask - what the bejesus is your username all about?!?!?!

It's a reference to another 'misheard lyric' in the song by Roy Orbison or Cyndi Lauper!

AhBiscuits · 16/05/2024 22:17

I thought the song Brown Eyed Girl started with the line
Hey there amigos.

And singing about 'making love with Claude Greengrass' - the grizzly old bloke from Heartbeat!

Oh OP. You're a great leader of the anus obsessed brigade.

I know, it's a nightmare. Anus here, anus there, anus everywhere.

A List. Playlist. Heinous. Buenos. Greyness.

Famous Ignoramous, a bit like that little pervert Aitch.

Ew.

GirlOfThe70s · 16/05/2024 14:37

About a hundred years ago I was singing a cheery pop ditty from a band called Herman's Hermits. My mother overheard and said 'what are you singing?'
I confidently sang the chorus to her again - 'She's a muscular boy'.
Mother - 'I think you'll find it's "she's a must to avoid".

The tables were turned decades later when I caught her warbling away to Bohemian Rhapsody, 'spare him his life from his Walls sausages'. (Walls was a company that made sausages, maybe they still do.)

Herman's Hermits also had another song (Two Silhouettes) with the (already rather disturbing) lyrics Let me in, or else I'll beat down your door - but instead of 'beat', it really does sound like he's singing 'wee'!

I listen to Radio 1 all the time and have heard this song many, many times. Not once have I heard "anus".
