My DD just had a cracking 'misheard lyric'

She's 11 and I'm tidying the kitchen with a random mix on and Britney Spears Toxic was playing and DD is sort of mumbling along and she says
"And I love what you do
Don't you know Sandy Toksvig?"

I had to clarify what she said. Yup.
We're big GBBO fans 😅🤣

Brilliant! 😂😂

CadyEastman · 07/06/2024 20:33

Oh god, that's brilliant. I can just imagine Sandy Toksvig singing along Grin

Pigeonqueen · 07/06/2024 20:37

That’s brilliant 🤩

My son amused me the other way when we were listening to Rhythm is a dancer in the car - he’s 11 and heard it as “it’s a sauce companion” he was thinking ketchup! 😳🤣

A friend's ds - singing along to Coldplay: "Para.. para.. parrot dies"!

That's so funny 😂
My 16 yr old DS completely misheard Marillion's Kayleigh and thought Fish was singing about "Thomas Gates from Moonlight College halls". He thought some bloke called "Thomas Gates went to a uni called Moonlight College with Kayleigh, and was asking her if she remembered him 😂

I said " why on earth would there be a university called Moonlight College?" and he said "Well, I don't know, I thought MARMILLION were American and they have weird college names there"

"Marmillion" just killed me 😅

My child was convinced Bananarama were singing, "I'm your penis".

That's exactly how we sang along to it at the time 😂

ImthatBoleyngirl · 07/06/2024 21:00

When DD was about 5 she would sing "This is a shout out to my eggs!" Instead of ex 🤣

binkybinkybinkbink · 07/06/2024 22:12

Dd asked the other day for the song about 'Stephanie Air'... after a long conversation it transpires that she wanted to listen to Rhianna S&M... 🙈🙉

Need to moderate my car play list.

Muchtoomuchtodo · 07/06/2024 22:15

Ds loved the classic Prince song furball rain when he was younger 🤣

They aren't?! I'm 42 and genuinely thought those were the words.

But did you all know that Toxic was written about Noel Fitzpatrick? I only found that out the other day. Can't listen to it the same now...

DS 2 (Pina Colada song) ' If you like being a Koala...'

Also DS2... HUGE musicals fan... Jesus Christ Superstar

'Always thought that I'd be in a parcel' (Always thought that I'd be an Apostle!)

We still sing it like that Grin

HippyChickMama · 07/06/2024 23:04

Dd has a slight hearing impairment and thought the words to Rocking Around the Christmas Tree were 'later we'll have some fucking pie' and used to miss that line out so as not to swear. When I asked her why she thought that was in a Christmas song, she said 'I don't know, I thought maybe she really didn't like pie'.
She also misheard deck the halls with boughs of holly, as deck the halls with thousands of horses.

Cactiverde · 07/06/2024 23:06

Ohhh this reminds me of when I saw dd who was about 3 at the time, sat in the kitchen singing her little heart out to Ed Sheeran castle on the Hill.. She was going through a sea creature obsession at the time, particularly loved stingrays, and was singing to her cuddly toy ray "swimming, you tiny dancer, and I'm Mister Ray, you make me feel, it's real!" she genuinely thought the song was about her toy "Mister Ray" the stingray 🥹

My then five year old, would belt out ‘ kicking your cats all over the place’.
