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.

I'm ashamed to admit that I thought Shania was moaning about her man kissing his carving knife...

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...

No he's the subject, the sing is by Cathy Dennis.

I've got tears, they're multiplying. And I'm blue, sense of trouble. Me, aged 6.

My friend used to sing along to that classic Prodigy song 'snap my picture'. As an adult!

DS when about 5 loved the Lana del Ray song 'Mummy is the answer to success'. Awww, thank you son!

Recently my daughter came home wanting to listen to “Don’t Stop Believing” by Journey. She sang along “Up and down the beef and lard”.

however, this is my absolute favourite mondegreen - - from about 20 seconds in.

You've been running round, running round, running round throwing turtles on my knee.

cholmondleywalker · 08/06/2024 08:11

Alright by Supergrass was a Broken Karaoke answer on House of Games recently but I didn't recognise it because the lyrics are completely different to what I've been singing since 1995. I always thought they were

We are young,
We run free,
We party, basically

It turns out the real words are something about running green and keeping teeth nice and clean. I still sing my version!🤣

Super vet?

Barleycat · 08/06/2024 08:17

My son when he was 3 thought it was ' I wanna be a dog' instead of adored. He'd sing along loudly in the car and it made me laugh everytime.

ImWearingPantaloons · 08/06/2024 08:20

Thats superb!!

Greentreesandbushes · 08/06/2024 08:35

We had “what’s that coming over the hill, is it a hamster, is it a hamster?”

Sharontheodopolodous · 08/06/2024 08:36

Dd,then aged about 5
(Katy Perry,roar)
I've got the arse of a tiger,and your gonna hear me roooaaarrr!

My ds's,then aged about 7 and 9
(Freddie mercury)
We will,we will,rock you!

Crying at ghostbusters!

Yep. They met when he treated Cathy's dog. Cathy is a well respected songwriter and "Toxic" was written when she and Noel split up.

MrsGhastlyCrumb · 08/06/2024 08:48

My 8 year old heard a Melanie Martinez song the other day: apparently it mentions 'smoking cannibals'.

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.

This one and THOSE BASTARDS really got me 😂

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

And the jaded mandarin is about a small, green orange right?? 🤣

My nan thought the lyrics to ghostbusters was who you gonna call? THOSE BASTARDS

It was ghost custard in my house lol

vidflex · 08/06/2024 09:42

Moves like jagger was moves like dragons according to my nephew lol

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

I must confess that I thought Freddie was singing that too... and I'm a lot older than 5 years!

AddictedtoStarmix · 08/06/2024 09:55

As children, my brothers and I all thought Queen sang Fried Chicken instead of One Vision😂.

TeapotCollection · 08/06/2024 09:56

Not lyrics but when we were kids we used to play Thriller on 78, it made the laugh at the end sound a bit like Woody Woodpecker

If you don’t understand this, ask your parents 😆

Blimey! Every day’s a school day. I remember Cathy Dennis from the 80s

I’ve just checked in case I’ve been taking the mick incorrectly but it’s definitely not cats! I’ve a cracking selfie video of him singing this song.

She's onto something here. A bake off remix would be much better.

"The taste of your cake gets me on a ride,
Your toxic buns slipping under,
Taste of the choccy flapperjack,
I'm addicted to you don't you know sandy Toksvig"

Thierrymugler · 08/06/2024 10:46

I used to think the lyric “so impossible” for westlife’s “flying without wings” was “so, in Kosovo” I thought that it was nice they were singing about the war in Kosovo. I was 11 😆
