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

Also another one for my love has got no money, he's got his tromboleece. Still refuse to sing the correct words now I know them

DP also thought until I heard him sing it, that it was 'I'm blue, if I was green I would die, if I was green I would die, If I was green I would die'

Nah, surely it’s ”I’m blue, in Aberdeen I would die, in Aberdeen I would die,” etc. Grin

Found the littlest DC singing ‘Sexy Cracker Lady I was just in the middle of a dream’ to Manic Monday 😂😂

@Havelock it's "I can't get enough of" hahaha I'm so glad it's not just me! Can't wait to tell DH I'm not the only one!!! SmileSmileSmile

I am crying at the busker with his tromboleece. Classics nomination anyone?

For me, it will always be Robert de Niro's waiting, tucking his tie in.

Name change in honour. I didn't even get there first goddammit!

Tinkerbellisnotafairy · 15/04/2019 13:04

I'm pretty sure that in the second verse of "Thursday", Jess Glynn is drinking sloe gin from a can

I still remain unconvinced that Neil Diamond isn't singing about The Reverend Blue Jeans.

SpriggyTheHedgehog · 15/04/2019 13:07

And I only recently discovered that Journey aren't singing 'Born and raised in softer trust' but in fact 'Born and raised in South Detroit.

AndNoneForGretchenWieners · 15/04/2019 13:14

Isn't it "I'm blue, and don't eat apple pie, I don't eat apple pie, if I did I would die"? Grin

Also thought it was catching fish and a tromboleece. I'm a regular cloth ears.

Spent far too many years singing fatboy slim - praise you like a shoe

Take a trip to Inverness is apparently 'dripping in finesse'

Hurricane Smith: "Don't Let It Die"

The Tiger screamed: "The Kangeroo is after me and after you!!!"

My brother used to think 'living on a prayer' was 'living on bread' Grin

MichonnesBBF · 15/04/2019 16:56

confused confused confused!!! Confused Confused Confused

I have always sang "i'm blue da da deed da, dum da da deed da, dum da da deed da da dum" was there actual words to that song other than i'm blue?

Jozen · 15/04/2019 20:46

Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh we shit for you, ooh ooh ooh, trying to do what lovers do ooh.

What Lovers Do - Maroon 5.

Should be "wishin' for you".

Hit me with your pet shark, fire a whale

NothingTraLaLa · 15/04/2019 21:35

Tinkerbell re: Thursday by Jess Glynne, my DD asked why in the second line she sings "I'm sick of carvery night".

Bluelonerose · 15/04/2019 21:40

Maroon 5 (can't remember the name of the song) the lyrics are "been thinking of you" I thought they sang "build a shed for you"

Band aid "feed the world" I thought it said "thieves go no" (my excuse was it was an Xmas song telling people not to steal) Blush

applesbananasgrapes · 15/04/2019 21:41

I’m another who struggled with the maroon 5 lyrics.. I heard it as ‘ooh ooh ooh ooh let me shit for you’ Grin

Tromboleece19 I can't believe my little tromboleece imagination story has prompted a name change Shock Am feeling so proud (and foolish )!

Squiff70 · 15/04/2019 23:35

"What's that coming over the hill - is it a lobster? Is it a lobster?". You can't unhear it.

KittensinaBlender · 15/04/2019 23:56

Not me, but somebody posted on another misheard lyrics thread...
"Might as well face it, you're a dick in a glove" (Robert Palmer - Addicted to Love). Makes me laugh everytime I hear it on the radio now.

TitilatedOcelot · 16/04/2019 00:39

I love a twisted lyric! DP and I were crying listening to Cheese Scone on radio 2 on Sunday afternoon.

Owen has conked out on the bedside table (aha - I've been losing you)

I've never met a roomaroo in the moonlight (the Killers - somebody told me) - I always thought a roomaroo must be some kind of animal, like a kangaroo.

Daisy, daisy give me your hamster too (DS, aged 3).

A friend thought the tromboleece man had a strong valise, so it was ok that he had no money cos he had somewhere safe to keep all his stuff.
