Oh, and who can forget that classic ‘My lover’s got no money, he’s got his trombelise’. I think I imagined a trombelise as a musical instrument of some kind, maybe a bit like a lute

I thought he had dungarees.. it was until recently I googled - 'strong beliefs'

Who remembers 'Hot Dog, Jumping frog, have a cookie'.

I just had to google the lyrics because I thought that’s what they were until your post 😂.

My DSis sent me a meme the other day: “release your inner bitches or whatever Natasha Bedingfield said” and I will never be able to hear anything else… Grin

DD thinks "...the past is in the past" line from Let it Go is "...the pastas in the pan". I thoroughly enjoy belting that out every time we listen to it.

Thought Sting was singing about a Canary in a coma.

Also White Lies... was quite old when I discovered it was White Lines

Until I was approx 49 I thought the line from raindrops keep falling on my head was “….cos I feel nothing’s worthy in me”. Thought the lad was deeply depressed, and still instinctively hear it as a very sad song.

I thought it was trampolines. I was 7 at the time, in fairness, but I’d actually still quite prefer to be tbh!

One of my best friends spent years thinking that Massive Attack were singing about Fussy Farts and was nonplussed when I fell apart laughing and pulled up the correct lyrics.

Abba - super trooper
