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.

🤣🤣 this is the sort of thing I would think but would be singing the wrong words for years!!

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.

Someone I knew thought Robert DeNiro was waiting, talking Italian 🤣🤣🤣🤣

It is. Isn’t it?🤔

Reminds me of the time someone said to me they thought ‘Feliz Navidad’ was saying ‘The police nabbed me Dad’

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!

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.

I'm pondering whether anyone in the entire world would actually go "hmm, yeah, I'm really attracted to your anus" as if it's a normal and successful wooing technique.

You haven't used tinder? This would be on the more sophisticated end of the spectrum for men on there.

Beatrixslobber · 16/05/2024 20:00

I really hope that radio 1 get to see this thread. Tomorrow will be fun 😂

I haven’t heard the song but I think I would like it. I’m partial to a bit of anal swearing.

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

I’m so glad I wasn’t the only one. Honestly I’m always mishearing lyrics.

There’s a Vampire Weekend song called Horchata and I was convinced they were saying “In December, drinking hot chowder…”. My husband was wetting himself when he heard me singing along and reminded me the song is called Horchata so how could I get the lyrics wrong 😑🫣🤣

Ive got to page 2 and Im none the wiser

OP, am I to understand that you thought some song lyrics used the word anus?

But when you wrote your OP you wrote it as a* and said it rhymed with planet?

In what world does anus rhyme with planet?

Or have I misunderstood completely?

She means the planet Uranus, but in being so coy she has caused far more confusion!

ilovemyspace · 16/05/2024 19:54

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'.

😂😂This so made me laugh

and especially because the next line is - 'a complete impossibility'

.........once upon a time this would have made perfect sense as a pop lyric 😂

Nowadays ............ you'd be arrested for hateful speech 👀👀😂😂

I always thought one of the lines from Super Trooper was "When I saw you last night in Tescos"

samarrange · 16/05/2024 19:39

A friend of mine was convinced that the line "My feet is my only carriage" (from No Woman No Cry) was in fact "My fear is my only courage", which would make a fabulous book title, or perhaps social media bio strapline.

I'm surprised no one's mentioned the trombolese yet. 😅 One of my favourite mondegreens.

I thought it was just me - wondered what a trombolisk was for years!

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

Brian Adams.
I'm Gonna Runter You

😳

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

I thought you were all referring to that H from Steps.

Rude little sausage these days, I thought.

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

Oh no, I have avoided listening to the lyrics in Come On Eileen because I didn’t want to know.
Crap.

fretaway · 16/05/2024 18:58

This has got to be a wind up.

However ever thankful for this thread as I’ve now discovered a new verb - to runter you!
