I've got a hard on for what you've got
It doesn't make a difference if we're naked or not

@Rosewaterblossom

I was convinced Katy Perry was trying to catch fish! Apparently it's "feels" 🤨😁
I thought it was fish until this thread too!

'My lover's got no money, he's got his jumbo fleece' 😄
I always sang 'he's got his trombelese'. Didn't even realize trombolese wasn't a word until quite recently Grin

Panic at the disco singing Nine in the afternoon, your arse is the size of the moon

iklboo · 07/03/2022 21:42

Tsk tsk. It's not jumbo fleece or jamboline. Everyone knows it's tromboleese.

ToffeeNotCoffee · 07/03/2022 21:43

Me too.

I thought the Ed Sheeran song,, 'graffitti on the over pass' was meet me by the overpass.

Kangaroo love, no you just have to wait (aka you can't hurry love)

AhhhHereItGoes · 07/03/2022 21:43

I thought it was he's got his Tambourines.

Assumed he was a musician of sorts...

Peter Kay did a Mis-heard Lyrics section in his live show

I still can't listen to Shania Twain's - That Don't Impress Me Much without giggling

CassTheFox · 07/03/2022 21:47

“Knights in Prestatyn
Never reaching Southend…”

(Ok so no one actually thinks that’s the lyrics but my Grandad used to sing it and it makes me smile :)

EdnaMole · 07/03/2022 21:48

I thought he was a Goddess From Belize.
But I’m loving the Jumbo Fleece and Tromboleese.

Killermontstreet · 07/03/2022 21:50

'Wife of a postman' instead of 'wife of a close friend' in Carly Simon's You're so vain. Always makes me smile.

She has a halo..hairy sunshine!

[quote Travellingraspberry]**@BarrowInFurnessRailwayStation* @DingDongtheWitchisDrunk* laughing so much at jumbo fleece and jamborine 😂 I think it's he's got his strong beliefs. I think I only know that because I had to look it up back in the day![/quote]
@Travellingraspberry makes me laugh too.... how can 'strong believes' sound like 'jumbo' or 'Jambo..." so odd!!

Ebenezer Goode by the Shamen.

For years I though it was "if your name's not Dan then you're not coming in" , for years I wondered who this special person called Dan was. Turns out it actually says "if your name's not down then you're not coming in". Which makes more sense for a guest list!

Changeforthis79 · 07/03/2022 21:52

And I always wondered wtf was a trombalees too!

RJnomore1 · 07/03/2022 21:56

I have just this week discovered that line “the kiddies the kiddies the kiddies got a habit” in Snap : Power is actually “it’s getting it’s getting it’s getting kinda heavy”

THIRTY YEARS later.

Like a bird skin, hey, touched for the very first time ewwwww

Worriedmum40284 · 07/03/2022 21:57

Totally agree with trombalees!!

Heard my husband singing Adele to himself the other day 'Hollow from the other side...."

Also "I went to the danger zone" rather than "Highway to the danger zone"

user2519782463 · 07/03/2022 21:57

Also shake your boobies instead of shake your booty. My kids were born in the 70's 😁

whysoserious123 · 07/03/2022 22:11

@DingDongtheWitchisDrunk

I thought it was 'jamborine'....although I don't know what a jamborine even is!

The fact that isn't the correct words disappoints me. P.s neither do I know that a jamborine is haha!

I always thought jamborine as well 🙈🙈 although I had no idea what that was.
Thank you for sorting that out for me!

Your top research skills are appreciated! I thought it was "tongue release!"

NannyGythaOgg · 07/03/2022 22:53

But you 'youngsters' have no excuse.

When we misheard it on our transistor radio, we had no way of checking. Even the magazines weren't around when I was a teenager - and even then there was only one set of lyrics each week.

'My lover's got no money, he's got his jumbo fleece' 😄
Trombolese was too many letters, but that’s where it came from.

(I don’t know what I thought a trombolese was or indeed might be)
