I've just learned if it hadn't been for Cotton Eye Joe..

[StanleyTheCrane]

He'd have been married a long time ago and not buried a long time ago. I thought that CEJ had saved his life, not stolen all of the women.

Also that he came to town like a Mid-Winter storm, not like a movie star.

Has anyone else had any lyric related revelations lately?

Wait, it's not Starbucks lover?!?!

Shania Twain "come in my hair do it again"

@justamushypea ewwww

I know. Put me right off her. Dirty cow

I wondered why Dua Lipa kept banging on about her prescription drug use: ‘I’m medicating’

I knew it said married, but what does "hipop dibip bi cotton eye joe" mean?

I always thought KD Lang was singing “can’t stand gravy” instead of constant craving……

You're all wrong.

My love has got no money, his Dad is from Belize.

"If it hadn't been for Cotton Eye Joe"

OMG I thought that too! I’ve been singing this for years…only realised it was wrong when you posted haha!

I always thought In Your so Vain Carly was singing about her philandering ex being with the wife of a postman when really he was with the wife of a close friend

Strong beliefs.

Honest! Took me ages too.

And I still have no clue what the real words are because my version is so much better of Rihannas Only girl in the world
I'm gonna make your bed fart, and I'm gonna make you swallow your pride

I always thought Dorothy was yearning for some home baked goods…

This was on in the car when I picked up DD (3) from nursery the other day. She asked why the radio was singing about Jason Waterfall

😂

I used to think it was "you just like to touch it, you don't want my heart" from Charlie Puth's "Attention" until my DP pointed out that it was "you just like attention" and the clue was in the song title... 😬

🤣 I thought it was a ‘Cilla Black Phantom Bike’ when I was younger. DH thought Sting was announcing ‘I’m a pool hall ace’ and not ‘how my poor heart breaks’ in Every Breath You Take

Thanks for asking- I was wondering exactly this! 🤣🤣🤣

Donna Summers 'Hot Stuff' - I always thought she sang 'Looking for a lover who needs a mother, don't want another night on my own, wanna share my love with a warm blood lover, wanna bring a white man back home'
Always heard about men who expected their wives to do everything 'like their Mum did' so thought it was describing that. As for the white man, I just thought she fancied something different for the night.

Pulp 'Common People' - I thought it was 'cos when you're laid in bed at night watching roses climb the wall'

made sense in my head as she was posh, so imagined she lived in a beautiful white washed house with roses climbing up the trellis outside. Nicer image than the actual line :)

Omg, same! I was trying to think of the song 😂😂. I also thought Robbie Williams song said "looks like casper without the make up", it's actually "looks like kiss without the makeup ".

The killers “I’ve got soul but I’m not a soldier”. DS says “I’ve got sore bottom, not a soldier “

Tromboleese here too. And Dance Settee. I imagined Jesus leading a disciple conga around it.

Misheard loads more, including in Summer Nights, "He swam by me, Gut was too damp". Apparently it's "He ran by me, got my suit damp".

Sometimes I feel like throwing my pants up in the air
l know I can count on you

I definitely heard:

Nirvana - A mulatto, hell if I know, I’m a skeedaw, a burrito yeah!

Madonna, Vogue “Jean, Kelly, Fred Upstairs, Gingivitis, everywhere!”
