Wrong words for songs

[Itsnaptime]

What's the best mistake you've made on song lyrics
I'm 40 and just realised I have been singing "and a parsnip in a pear tree"!!
Why did no-one ever correct me on this and how did they keep a straight face? 🤣

For about 30 years I used to think the Cadbury’s fudge advert was: “…. It’s full of peppery goodness and very small and neat”. I spent years wondering how and why it was peppery fudge.

When my DD was a teenager she would always sing the wrong words in songs (not intentionally) which would make us laugh.

My favourites are I love Rock and Roll. My daughter would sing 'put another pie in the shoe box baby' instead of 'put another dime in the jukebox baby'

She would also sing Mistletoe and Wine and would say 'with logs on the fire and crisps on the tree'

Freed from Desire, she would sing 'my lovers got no money, he's got his strombolise' She asked me one day what a strombolise was 😂When I told her it was 'strong beliefs' she was like 'oh yeah that makes sense' 😂

that might work actually ;-)

You heard it here first...

A Great Dane took a shine to me, I couldn't stop it so I let it be
(10cc Good Morning Judge)

Tommy Yogurt
(Wings Coming Up)

It's Simple
(Pete Wylie It's Sinful)

The Police , Message in a bottle, the clue’s in the title , so why did teenage me think it was ‘A year has passed since I broke my nose’?

Tbf I sung that too so she wasn't alone in that 🤣

Loving the comments.....
Just fancied a little fun on a cold Saturday evening and these comments have certainly made me chuckle

So did I

Dolly Parton ''and you spend your life putting money in his wallet''

I sang for years ''and you send your wife to vomit in the toilet'' before I realised the actual words!

“Who do you think your kidding Mr Kipper”

dads army

Eurythmics There must be an angel. I always sing 'I'm tired and overgrown with fleas'. Apparently it's meant to be 'I'm thrown and overblown with bliss'.

Ashanti when she sings R U L E but used to think it was Are you Ellie? 😂😂 for some strange reason

This song: Bootie luv, Boogie Tonite lyrics.
I thought it was "in Colarado tonight"

Its "cut a rug up tonight". Which means dance energetically. 😳

Waterloo, how does it feel when you won the war...

Apparently it's ' i was defeated you won the war.' I learned that last weekend when I watched Fire Saga with subtitles on for DS. DH was gobsmacked too.

Well you could knock me down with a feather!

A woman I worked with sang "Stop! In the neighbourhood!" instead of "Stop! In the name of love!"

And a little girl I knew years ago would sing "we found gloves in a noseless face" along with Rihanna.

Free from desire
My lover has a strong release.
Not he's got strong beliefs (the correct words)

One I read here a few years ago and have been spreading my knowledge since..

You're so vain. The line is 'you had one eye in the mirror as you watched yourself gavotte'. Everyone I know including me thought it was 'watched yourself go by'. Yet when you listen she quite clearly says 'gavotte' which I understand is a type of dance.

I love this funny story:

A little girl got a teddy bear for Christmas and told her parents that its name was to be Gladly.

They asked her why she had chosen such an unusual name.

The girl replied that she had remembered the hymn they'd sung in church on Sunday about 'Gladly, my cross-eyed bear.'

“Maybe you’re just like my mother
She never sat inside” (instead of she’s never satisfied).
Always made perfect sense to me as a busy, outdoorsy person!

Dreadful omission to the story: I forgot to say the bear was cross-eyed.
There's a reason I'll never be a comedian.

Africa by Toto: I missed the rains down in Africa. Should be I blessed the rains down in Africa.

And when I was teaching English in a French school I used to do gaps in lyrics for them to guess. I did Wonderwall, and left a gap for the “fire in your heart is out” bit. 100% of them put the fire in your house is out!

Island in the Sun, by Harry Belafonte.

After several decades I found out that
'with calypso songs from the sothy col' was
'with calypso songs philosophical'.

Many years ago I heard my DS singing Bary Manilow's It's a Miracle... a true blue testicle!
