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.

“Oops upside your head” I thought was “Oops up slide your hands”.

I think mine’s better.

You anus alone as before now! Now you're no longer the butt of the joke. Google helps in assertaining lyrics

Years ago my friend was singing along to a song....
'Shake your P45'

It's was actually 'Shake your B O D Y'

She had form for getting things wrong. Once said in a pub quiz that Louis Armstrong was the first man on the moon.

Omg 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 P45 has me absolutely howling! I've just woken up DC

I heard this on Radio 2 recently, and also thought it was anus! I was also surprised at them playing it, so you're not the only one. 😂

Thank you, Frances.

@AlltheFs You can say anus. You can’t say Fuck me in the arse.

There's a sentence I bet you didn't expect to be typing this evening

"Oooooooôoo, better watch out for the string beans....."

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

What with OP and now this, this thread's got me proper cackling 😂🤣

The runtering post is so funny I nearly fell off the sofa laughing. And I genuinely thought the lyric in Golden Brown was Manshiro. I just thought it was a creative making up of a word.

Ilovesandwiches · 16/05/2024 22:48

hahahaahah this is amazing

Deathbywhy · 16/05/2024 22:41

Love this thread.

Years ago we were in the car when they said on the radio that up next was St Elmo’s Fire, I said to my husband that I’d never heard that song before. Turns out the song I’d been belting out “Set them on fiiireya” was actually St Elmo’s Fire. Who knew 🤷‍♀️

Old person here, never heard of this guy Aitch but so pleased it finally might give me ammunition to stop my teens calling the 8th letter of the alphabet 'haitch'.....😂!

Did you turn Radio 1 off and put some other music on, or did you all do the rest of the journey in silence?

AhBiscuits · 16/05/2024 22:17

MercyChant66 · 16/05/2024 22:05

Love these mondegreens (and the story of why they're called that from a misheard Scottish poem with the line 'Laid him on the green' becoming 'Lady Mondegreen').

I always heard Rufus and Chaka Khan's 'Ain't no body loves me better' as 'Ain't no body loves detectives'

ABBA's lesser known 'Treat Him Well He is Your Brother' was, to my sister and me, 'Thieving Willy Is Your Brother' (the Scandinavian pronunciation does suggest our interpretation)...

ChampagneLassie · 16/05/2024 22:04

For years I believed the first line of Summer of 69 was “I got my first real sex dream” which still makes sense. “Played it till my fingers bled” took on a slightly grosser meaning! My DP thought it hilarious when he overheard me singing this. Google tells me I’m certainly not alone

BustyLee · 16/05/2024 22:03

Come on op. You should be proud to have given us all a laugh today.

The late, great Dave Allen told a story about the first funeral he attended, when the coffin was being lowered into the grave, he thought the priest said:

In the name of the father, the son, and into the hole he goes
