I was describing a song to DH and this is what he heard me say. Any guesses?

Hold back the river! Grin

Mine is Don’t be Afraid to Catch Fish. I was certain they were the correct lyrics!

StealthPolarBear · 14/04/2019 21:19

Yes I remember that one :)

Dd when she was 5 kept asking for “the waffle song” turned out she meant Dua Lipa, New Rules and she’d managed to pick out the line “You’ll have to kick him out again” and thought she was saying waffle.

Took us going through each song in the top 40 before we found the right one. Fucking waffle song.

moreshitandnofuckingredemption · 14/04/2019 21:53

@aimily that's "shower the horse, I'm done", surely?!

Apparently The Red Hot Chili Peppers are not singing:

"I wonder how a hippo tastes" All My Life Foo Fighters. It should be "I love it but I hate the taste" genuinely thought it was the hippo version for years until DH caught me singing it in the car one time.Grin

i was shocked to find out it’s ‘put your hands up for Detroit, a lovely city’ I always thought it was I love this city.

One I couldn’t figure out for ages was ‘my lovers got no money, he’s got his strong beliefs’

PrettyAmazingGrace · 14/04/2019 22:21

My car radio now tells me which song is on. How could I not have realised Billy Ocean was singing about a Caribbean queen? Heard it when I was a child and thought it was about reindeer - Caribou Queen. It didn't make a lot of sense but neither did a lot of other songs - which I should look up now as well to see what else I've been getting wrong all this time!

I always thought she had an “invisible top chef” still sing it because it annoys me how they say “touch” just to fit the song..

DrinkSangriaInThePark · 14/04/2019 22:32

decimalpoint I always thought it was "my love has got no money, he's got his tromboleece" and I imagined that a tromboleece was a type of musical instrument a bit like a small trombone.
