My DD just had a cracking 'misheard lyric'

[GodzillaAttacks]

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 😅🤣

We deliberately sang it like that

Natasha Bedingfields 'These words are my own'. My friend used to sing Venus de Milo. I fell around the place laughing about why she made up such a stupid name, turns out I had never heard of Venus de Milo so the joke was on me really!

Ds: I'm loving Ninjas instead....

Me too. I want to write a book now just to have a character in it called Mack Zarandershaw.

Joe Butler!

Alanis Morissette’s Ironic. Instead of ‘a death row pardon two minutes too late’ I thought it was ‘death row hard on’ which made perfect sense to me. Not much point getting a boner when the rest of you is dead 🤣

I walked in to find my then 7 year old son attempting the dance routine to single ladies repeatedly singing "I'm a cigarette" whilst waving his hand and swinging his hips to the opening lines.

Alarmingly my DS thought merry Christmas everyone was “We're gonna have a party tonight
I'm gonna FIGHT that girl underneath the mistletoe” 🤣

Ha ha!! my mum thought it was called maxwell jump where they say “might as well jump” 🤣

Not a misheard lyric but dh convinced a car full of 7 year old girls that the song hair by little mix was about nits.

DD used to belt out “oh, the grand old juicy fork…”

I was convinced at primary school that we were singing “sing, lasagna. Sing, lasagna. Sing, lasagna to the king of kings…” I just figured God really liked pasta.

Thats because they do!
Jim Hutton (Freddies partner at the time) would jokingly sing that when they were recording so the last line of the song was recorded as 'gimme gimme fried chicken'.

My ex only knew one Christmas song (he grew up in the ME).

Jingle Bears...

When DD was very young she asked if I could play the song about a clown called Alice.....30 years on and I still can't listen to The Jam's "A Town called Malice" without changing the lyrics. Thanks for that DD. 😅

Mine are all ABBA related.

'When the bus had to go' - One of Us. The actual lyrics are clearly in the title of the song.

'When I called you last night from Tesco' - Super Trouper.

I thought it was “On the bus had to go” and laughed at the clunky lyrics…

Glad I'm not the only one 😅

I always thought it was Alice too!

My two older sisters and two older cousins (1, 2, 3 & 4 years) when I was ten mocked me mercilessly over Toyah's Its a Mystery.

It turned out that I was right all along, it's "The big question mark," and not "The vicar wedged a mark." 40 years later, have I ever had even an acknowledgement that was right?

No!

Mind you, on the grounds that I got so many other lyrics wrong, perhaps it's understandable...

My 4-year-old daughter loved to sing along with "Lonely Women Make Good Lovers."

Except she thought it was "Only." 😂
