Oh bring us some Vicky pudding!

[HighlandWorrier]

All these years I've thought it was this but just realised it's "Oh bring us some figgy pudding" duh anyone else misheard lyrics?

Not a Christmas one but We Are Family apparently says 'just let me state for the record' and NOT 'just let me staple the vicar'.

According to DD, it’s ‘The Chinese we bring, to you and your king’.

Gabriel's Message: 'Most highly flavoured lady. Gloria..!'

I used to think the Proclaimers were singing "and when I heave up I'm gonna be the one who's heaving over you" which I always thought was an odd way of expressing love, he's telling her he loves her so much he'll be sick on her?

Apparently the actual words are "and when I haver I'm gonna be the one who's havering to you."

And like @BluthsFrozenBananas I thought Aretha was singing about TCP.

It was always ‘most highly flavoured gravy’ for me

@BinksyB surely it IS southern drunk??

I had a boyfriend once who thought it was "forever smell your feet" instead of "forever hold your piece"

I admit I don't actually know the words to Fairytale of New York but it's one of my favourites.

DDS classic :
"There will be a hamster, let it be"

TwistedChristmas it's old slut on junk, I'm afraid.

@TwistedChristmas Afraid so! Think it might have been a mumsnet thread that enlightened me. I’m glad it wasn’t just me though. It does however make perfect sense.

Pity mice and pity me ( pity my simplicity)

I made that man so happy when I rode a ladder once ( wrote a letter)

I am a bit sad that the Pogues song is falling out of favour this year, as (rightly, I suppose) it is considered homophobic.

Shame, coz it is one of my favourite tunes and I can play it on Piano.

@topcat2014 I believe "faggot" came from the Irish meaning "lazy." Nothing to do with homosexuality apparently. Faggots are also a food so maybe they should be banned too or renamed?

Good King Wenscas last went out..

Took me years to realise that his name was Wenceslas

Is there a radio edit of the Pogues song? I heard it this morning and the "old slut on junk" line sounded like "old southern drunk" and "you cheap lousy faggot" sounded like "you're cheap and you're haggard." I've only heard the less radio friendly version before.

I also realised today that the line in Rocking Around the Christmas Tree that I always heard as "we can have some fucking pie" is actually "we can have some pumpkin pie."

There is a bit in 'Walking in the Air' which talks about a mighty monster but I always hear 'mighty pornstar'

There’s another version of Fairytale of New York by Ronan Keating that changes it to:

^You scumbag, you maggot,
You’re cheap and you’re haggered^

It’s the one most often played on the radio, for PC reasons. I don’t find it nearly as much fun to sing along to personally...

I always sing angelic hope rather than angelic host in Hark the herald.
It is thoroughly stuck in my head.

My OH thinks that " Away in a manger" is "A wean in a manger"...he is Scottish so it makes sense.

DD1 was singing

Here we go, wo-oh

Instead of feed the world. She is 13 😂

DS today asking why there's swearing in Rocking a round the Christmas tree.

The line "maybe we'll have some fucking pie and we'll do some carolling!"

Could be the Northern version I suppose?

DD now 11 but years ago (And still to this day) Agadoo - push my knuckles in the tree, Adele - Chasing cavemen and the Calgon advert is washing machines live longer with Calpol.

We’ve had
“We will rock you, rock you, rock you, will we serve you all we can, starling, starling, little man” (The rock you carol, not Queen btw)
From our 4 year old 😍

good king wenslas LAST looked out.

Ah, fucksake, that makes sense.

Dd sang a song about baby cheeses when he was in reception. Till I figured out he was singing "baby jesus"
He's been the baby cheeses ever since...
