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

'My love has got no money, he's got his dungarees'

Also, if anyone could recite the whole of sixpence none the richers Kiss Me that would be 👌🏻

"You've been runnin' round, runnin' round, runnin' round throwin' turtles on my knees"

I can't unhear it now! Every time I hear the name Charlie Puth now I think of him sitting there at some party in LA with a lap full of turtles.

DS had misheard current hit as 'gonna take my horse to the hotel room and ride till I can't no more' as opposed to 'to the old town road'

Puts a slightly different spin on things.

I on the other hand was convinced for years that Primal Screen were advising me to 'get your rock salt ' (to de-ice the drive presumably?) DH found this very amusing when I was singing along one day.

Gojetters theme song- everytime it's on in the background I hear "...that nasty bitches plan!" The baddie is called Glitch Grin

Owlettele · 14/04/2019 22:48

These are amazing......and have made me LOL - I also thought tromboleece and again I thought some kind of instrument.
Dd 4 loves music at the minute and some of her lyrics are better than the real ones. She now sings this one properly but "shot co" for shot gun and Jonas Blue instead of they say we're too savage - something with my sandwich Smile she is too cute

I still always sing "my lover's got no money, he's got his tambourines" 😂

go tell your horse I'm done

We heard it as “jabba the horse, I’m done” Grin

Athenajm80 · 14/04/2019 23:15

I used to think the lyrics were "If your name's not Dan, you're not coming in" I had strange visions of a club full of men named Dan. (Ebenezer Good if anyone's wondering)

I got that sunshine in my pocket I've got those rissoles on my feet.

Butterymuffin · 14/04/2019 23:22

I also thought it was 'don't be afraid to catch fish'..

WineIsMyCarb · 14/04/2019 23:25

Decimal any fule no the lyric is "my lover's got no money, he's got his trombelise". How fortunate that he is able to make a living from his musical instrument - his trombelise - to keep himself afloat!!! Grin

CocoLoco87 · 14/04/2019 23:26

"All those lonely Starbucks lovers, they'll tell you I'm insane"

This line often features on these threads so luckily I'm not the only one Grin

thenightsky · 14/04/2019 23:26

I've always heard it, and sung along with, trombelise too.

WineIsMyCarb · 14/04/2019 23:26

Also the first line of that Moloko song:
"You're a lesbian, you're a breath of fresh air to me". Never questioned it.
