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 😅🤣

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...

Yep, he went out with writer and has admitted that he rubbish at relationships!

DS learned the Alphabet Song in Reception:

ABCDEFG, HIJK hello, hello P!

I’m not sure why P got so much attention.

Love it!

my dd was younger she was listening to Lady Gaga’s Paparazzi and she thought it was “Baa baa, black sheep “ they sang.

The years I spent thinking Dave Lee Roth had his back to the ‘wrecking machine’ in Van Halens Jump.
I genuinely thought he was standing next to some heavy plant type equipment. The penny dropped about two years ago when I looked at DH whilst it was playing and exclaimed “RECORD MACHINE!”
he won’t let me forget it.

Cranberries Zombie as a kid. Mum came in to find me bellowing out 'eat your hair, eat your hair' to the chorus.

WhamBamThankU · 07/06/2024 23:37

I spent like 20 years singing 'a doya haaa a doya heyyyy' to David gray's Babylon instead of 'let go of your heart, let go of your head'

Dorothy the Dinosaur by the Wiggles, when they spell out her name, DD aged around 3 always sang "D O hatchO D X Y" and that will forever be how you spell Dorothy in our family.

Husband genuinely thought that Mark Morrison was singing

Letting all the people know
That I'm Mack Zarandershaw

Like that was 'Mack's' surname. Eejit.

Jingle bells.... "Old Mac Farm" it is to ride on a one horse open sleigh
Hoping she hasn't realised/grown out of it by the time this Xmas comes around.

My dd was convinced one of Santa's reindeers was called Olive. 'all of the other reindeer'

GrandesRandonnees · 08/06/2024 00:19

Not my kid, but a school friend: “Go go Jason Waterfalls”. Still makes me laugh now.

When I was little, I always thought Doris Day's name was Kay Sarah.

Once overheard a young kid singing to themselves:

Woah oh, living unaware.....

(Yup, Living on a Prayer!)

My cousin loved the famous Madonna song “like a fir tree, cut for the very first time”.
