I’ve been hearing this song lyric wrong MY ENTIRE LIFE

[AngeloMysterioso]

Sitting in the morning sun
I’ll be sitting when the evening comes
Watching the ships roll in
Then l watch ‘em roll away again.

My whole life I’ve thought that last line was

They don’t want to roll away again.

MIND. BLOWN.

My DM thought the lyrics in Bruno Mars - Just The Way You Are were

"Her nips, her nips, I could kiss them all day if she let me"

Instead of her "her lips"

I have just woken DH up because I'm laughing so much the bed is shaking, I have tears streaming down my face at this thread.

His is not amused

So today I can finally stop wondering what a trombaleese is

Macy grey ‘my world crumbles when you are not here’
My friend was CONVINCED it was ‘I wore goggles when you are not there’
🤦‍♀️

@SciFiScream
Are you my childhood bestie?!

And thank GOD I now know what trombalise actually is!!!

Tromboleese... it was 'dungarees' for me, as in "my lover's got no money, he's got his dungarees". It made sense... no money but at least he has some clothes?

Mines a Christmas one too -

Rockin’ around, the Christmas tree, have a happy holiday
Later we’ll have some funky pie and we’ll do some carolling.

Of course that should be PUMPKIN pie but as I never heard of pumpkin pie until I was an adult it just never clicked. Plus I’m sure it just must have been chosen because it rhymed because who has pumpkin pie at Christmas?!

DS sings along to Uptown Funk

Up
Down
Duck it up
Up Down Duck it Up

Complete with a little duck dance.

I'm never telling him the correct lyrics!

What is this line actually supposed to be in Uptown Funk?
I'm too hot, call the police and the fireman
I'm too hot, take a dragonball and retire man

It can't be that, can it?

I think it’s “make a dragon want to retire”
(At least that’s what I hear)

It is make a dragon want to retire.

I remember waiting for smash hits magazine to come out to check song lyrics.

Nowadays we have the internet, does nobody check?

Wait. Wait! Step Into Christmas isn't asking us to hop aboard the turkey boat?? Mind. Blown.

Goodbye Mr A by The Hoosiers: I know the lyric is really "You love a little bit but you forgot" but I swear he's singing "...but you fuck up".

Just overheard DD5 singing a tremendous one from Merry Christmas Everybody by Shaky.

"It's the season
Where no one understands me
Merry Christmas everyone"

From the mouthes of babes.

*mouths

My niece thought the the worlds to Babybird's song "you're gorgeous" was "big ears you're gorgeous" instead of "because you're gorgeous"

Another one here who heard Tromboleese, I thought it was some kind of musical instrument and the guy had no money so he made a living busking with his trusty Tromboleese!

Well I'm glad it wasn't just me who thought it was tromboleese!

I always heard tromboleese as well

And I thought that;s not right but wasnt interested enough to knwo what it was!

Still over son and heir / sun and air though WTF lol

This was a conversation between DH and me a while back (I was in the station car park before anyone worried about me driving whilst recording)

You Sexy Thing ( I Believe in Miracles) by Hot Chocolate

I always thought he was singing 'I believe in Milko'.

onlymyself DD1 used to sing "in York, Yorkshire".

Feels - Calvin Harris

I happily sang along "don't be afraid to catch fish" until ds and his teenage mates couldn't contain their sniggering anymore

For years,I thought in Hot Chocolates song ''You Sexy Thing',he was singing 'I believe in Malcolm',rather than 'I believe in miracles'. I did wonder what Malcolm had to do with anything.

"Prefab Sprouts Albequerque - i thought it was I’ll buy cookie."

I made sure it was "Have a cookie!", which I always thought was a strange thing to be offering in the middle of a pop song

I always hear the chorus of "That was My Mistake" by Split Endz as "Everybody's Dead".
