I thought he had dungarees! Thought they just have been really expensive so that’s why he had no money.

Not just me then…

That well-known song by The Prodigy - Snap My Picture

Alicenwonderland · 07/03/2022 23:08

'I don't wanna talk' by Glass Animals. I thought it was 'No more living in my pants'. It came out Covid time so I thought it was a Covid, depression song. It's actually 'No more living in my past'.

Banannarama 'Love in the first degree'. My sister and I thought it was 'Guilty as a drunken bean'.

Macy Gray

I try to say goodbye and I choke
Try to walk away and I stumble
Though I try to hide it, it's clear
I wear goggles when you are not here

For years I thought Whitney Houston was singing about her 'Bitter sweet Man Maurice' in I Will Always Love You 😂.

@BarrowInFurnessRailwayStation

'My lover's got no money, he's got his jumbo fleece' 😄
I thought it was "he's got his jumbolee" and always assumed it was food of some kind, similar to jambalaya!

@anotherheadache

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!

😲

I never even questioned why they wanted a room full of Dans.

Its taken me..... 27+ years.

I'm shook to the very core.

@Worriedmum40284

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

I'm learning so much this evening!

Laugh and quaffing (let the choir sing)

My Sis thought the beginning of how deep is your love went 'I know you rise in the morning sun

A girl I went to school with was convinced the TLC lyrics were ‘Go go Jason Waterfalls’. She wouldn’t be told otherwise.

There's a grim haberdasher and he's 45

For years thought it was 'cos every girl crazy bout a shy gas man'

I've Had the Time of My Life:

as a child I thought it was "With my body in soap I want you more than you'll ever know"

Couldn't work out why she needed to be soapy 😂

(with my body and soul)

I have no idea what the actual lyric is. Do you?
Disneyblueeyes · 08/03/2022 00:03

This reminds me of the Peter Kay video.

In the song ' we are family'

'just let me staple the vicar'...

Has me howling every time.

Iloveadrianmole · 08/03/2022 00:05

It’s HIGHWAY to the danger zone?! I thought it was halfway!!

I’ve been singing “no one understood when I felt up Mary…..” in Richard Marx’s Hazard for years, I thought bloody hell, no wonder they think he’s murdered her if he’s been feeling her up!!

IAmNeverWrong · 08/03/2022 00:07

It's a brimful of Asha on the forty-five - not that that makes any more sense!

Disneyblueeyes · 08/03/2022 00:07

I was pretty convinced for a while that Justin Timberlake was actually attracted to a woman's back, not 'bringing sexy back'.

Estara · 08/03/2022 00:13

Elton John, I always thought it was Coco Heart, it's only with this new release I realised he's singing cold cold heart.

It's also Trombaleese for me.

justasoul · 08/03/2022 00:21

Only very very recently like, last week have I realised that Avril Lavigne doesn’t say “there is more than misty eyes” in sk8er boi Blush

@IAmNeverWrong

It's a brimful of Asha on the forty-five - not that that makes any more sense!

Not read the whole thread so sorry if someone's already explained. I read years ago that Asha is a famous Bollywood star who does all the singing (the actresses are miming but you're hearing her voice). They've had a brimful of her, as in she's all they ever hear. On the 45 refers to records of her voice (ancient mumsnetters like myself will know about 45 RPM!)
The song mentions how Asha is the one who keeps the dream alive.

However, NO idea how this relates to everyone needing a bosom for a pillow!!

Will confess to mishearing "young girl with eyes like potatoes" by Madonna and "he's got a tromboleese" Grin
