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

Oh, my other famously misheard lyric...The Gorrillaz are apparently:

I'm happy, feeling sad,
I got sunshine, in my bad,
I'm Cupid, but not for long,
The future, is holding strong.

These don't even make sense, but I sing along quite obliviously 🤷‍♀️

@Iputthescrewinthetuna, that was the sectarian version in Glasgow when I was growing up :o

The Rangers fans would chant it to Celtic fans at games!

At my first school my friends and I loved the song "Talking to Tanya" by Bananarama.

You know, "Robert De Niro's waiting, talking to Tanya....."

"I believe in milk oh!
Where you from?
You sexy thing..."

I was in primary school when this came out. I was confused by the seemingly random mention of dairy products but assured by my much more worldly best friend at the time that this must be a sly reference to big boobs. Grin

She said I am the one
The chairlift's not my son

And
Wake up in the morning shaving my breasts sir
So that every mouth can be fed
Oooooooh Me ears are alight

I got my first real sex dream
Boy it was a fiver dime
Played it til my fingers bled
It was the summer of sixty nine

@Heatherjayne1972 - apparently it's

Just let me state for the record

But vicar stapling is funnier.

Stereophonics - Have a nice day

I’m in total shock that someone else out there thought it was tromboleece and imagined a tiny trombone!

I was only saying this to my incredulous DS a month or so back!

I believe in milk oh!
Where you from?
You sexy thing..

It was "I believe in Malcolm" to me and my friends in primary school. No idea who Malcolm was.

‘That would be ecstasy
You and me and Lesley
Groovin..’

I wondered who Lesley was for years.

I always thought that Beck was singing ‘Sun over Benidorm’ on Loser.

My uni roommate thought that the song ‘Hands up’ went ‘Hands up! Baby hands up! Give me your heart guinea piggy, your heart guinea piggy’
