Annie, are you walking? Are you walking, Annie?

[BarbaraVineFan]

…the lyrics of MJ’s ‘Smooth Criminal’, or so I thought until the age of about 25!!
Anyone else have funny misheard lyrics to share?

Cecelia, you're breaking my heart,
You're shaking my carpet and ceiling.

(I thought it was a reference to very energetic sex 😁)

Thank you. Had no idea

Me too!! Thought it was some religious thing, like a communion wafer or something. 🤣 like unlevened bread.

I literally thought it was "I walk alone" until right this second!

"She was the Dancing Queen, young and sweet, only seven teeth!"

Jason Derulo

I got the shits on the floor

I heard that CCR started actually singing this sometimes in concert, once they learned how many people mishear it as that!

Two more classics:

'The girl with colitis goes by' from Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds ('the girl with kaleidoscope eyes');

'Scuse me while I kiss this guy' from Purple Haze by Jimi Hendrix ('scuse me while I kiss the sky')

I've remembered one my friend used to sing

"From the first time that I saw you,
I know it was forever
Martin Lurther King*
Will keep us together"

*This mighty love between us
Lionel Ritchie You are my Destiny

My H wanted The Holiday Song as our first dance. Yeah, cos a song about someone wanking and then impregnating his sister is SO romantic 🤣 (I do love the song but maybe not appropriate with all our elderly relatives...)

love this thread

thank you all for the laugh I needed today

U2 - one

”have you come here to play Jesus,
to the leopards in your head”

Bono and his imaginary Christian leopards

😆😆😆

Thanks a lot for that, @YesTonightJosephine... but did they mix up 7 and 8 in that list?!

Well spotted @IfYouPutASausageInItItsNotAViennetta !

This is exactly what I hear. Imaging him hugging her face like a koala while he’s trying to drive (fast)
