Well I was born in the late 80's and I've only just realised the song lyric isnt;

"She's got better days aside"
Its she's got "Bette Davies eyes"

Noah and the Whale - Life goes on

I'd sing 'L I F E O R G A S M' and was astonished to find it was actually L I F E G O E S O N'

Rag n bone man - Giant

A colleague always sang 'I am trying'. We all still sing her version now. It works.

@mac1974 @mangosaregreat i think there is a whole generation of us that grew up knowing the word trombolese but not knowing if its a thing.

Come on! What are the actual lyrics?!

In order -
"If my heart is a ship and I won't let it dock."
"Guilty feet have got no rhythm."
"I make her cards on her birthday." And that one's left me with an earworm.

At the end of Queen's One Vision, Freddie sings 'gimme, gimme fried chicken '.

Seaitoverthere · 19/04/2023 22:19

I thought the Police were singing about Sue Lawley which was a touch confusing.

HurdyGurdy19 · 19/04/2023 22:22

The Police, "Message In A Bottle". My version - "a year has passed since I broke my nose".
The actual lyric - "a year has passed since I wrote my note".

And from back in the 70s, Neil Sedaka, "The Queen of 1964". My friend and I sang - "nobody wants to know the red droopy now".
Actual lyrics- "nobody wants an over-aged groupie now".

For many years I’ve been singing “Get up in the morning, same thing for breakfast’ for the song The Israelites but it’s actually ‘Get up in the morning, slaving for bread sir.’
