My DS 10 thought they were singing penis. My husband and I couldn't stop laughing.

I only learnt a fews ago that the lyrics are not
'just another man named Monday'

But 'just another manic Monday'

I just thought it was a weird song with a man with an unusual name. Oops

lol 😂 absolutely love it. Have you seen the Peter Kay misheard lyrics sketch. It’s really funny, you can find it on you tube

About 20 years ago there was an article in the paper about most commonly misheard lyrics. They mentioned Wuthering Heights by Kate Bush and how someone had been singing "Heathcliffe, it's me, I'm a tree I'm a wombat" for their whole life. From that day on I too have always sung those lyrics 🤣

Georgie Fame singing Yeh Yeh.....It always sounded like "Well, every evening, Put on my dishwater suit..." When it's actually "Well, every evening, When all my day's work is done.." That does make a bit more sense, I guess!

Yes, Peter Kay's misheard lyrics is very funny. I've said it before on here but I thought Alanis Morissette sang 'it's a death row hard on two minutes* too late' instead of 'it's a death row pardon two minutes too late' in her Ironic song 🙈. *

My recent one was realising Ava Max isn't singing about a short fuse "just like a tampon" 😂

Bananalanacake · 25/06/2022 12:51

Well what is she saying then? it sounds exactly like tampon, not surprised someone else hears it like that too. Actually it was on the radio in my car yesterday, thank god the radio shows you the name of the singer so I looked at the name and thought 'must ask on MN when this next comes up'

Time bomb.

My user name is my (then) 7yr old DD's take on "A town called malice" by the Jam. She's 30 now and still my user name pops into my head every time I hear the song.

I thought Taylet Swift had "a lot of Starbucks lovers" ... not a long list of ex lovers. To be fair, lots of people on YouTube think the same!

DS ages 10
White flag by Dido on the radio
Mum is there swearing in this song?

My friend and I glance at each other confused.

Me: No why do you think so?
DS : I will go down with this
ME and friend in unison SHOUTING SHIPPPPPP

(we even now 10 years on over pronounciate the P when the song comes on the radio)

I know Sting sings "my poor heart aches" in Every Step You Take but I hear "my poo hole aches" ... sorry

Back in the day..'summer the first time' (Bobby Goldsborough) She sipped on a julip not 'slipped on a tulip'

James blunt

Three wise men

I always thought it was

Thoes three wise men they've got a city by the sea.

He actually says a semi by the sea which is either a house or really rude 😂

That's news to be, I definitely thought it was Starbucks lovers. Made sense...
