I'm guessing you guys must have some great ones. i'm in need of a laugh! One of the best i've heard was dh recently admitting that he only recently figured out the words to "buildme up buttercup" He mis heard "I'll be home, I'll be beside the phone waiting for you" for "I'll be home a baby xylophone waiting for you"!!
Honestly!

A friend of mine emigrated to Australia when she was 6, and for the first year started the school day singing the National Anthem:
"Australia's Sunlit Ostriches"

(Australia's Sons, Let us rejoice!)

I'm sure I have loads but think of them right now...

Funniest has to be...the flashdance song!

shalaa · 06/08/2005 16:06

Tori amos 'concertina' sounds like "I walk into your fart from across the room"

Up until the age of about 14 I used to sing "ooh the death of somebody, I wanna feel the heat of a body" as the lyrics to that Whitney Houston song.

I was having a discussion about this once with some friends. We were disputing what the words to "Golden Brown" by the Stranglers were. My friend's DH was saying that the second line was "texture like sand" and I was saying that it was "texture like sun" and that it had to be that so it would rhyme with the next line which is obviously "lays me down, with my machine gun"
I have no idea what the words really are!
Can anyone enlighten me?!

stacijc · 06/08/2005 20:01

THAT Michael Jackson one.....Keep on the way the porn stars do, don't stop till u get enough

And my sister thought that the line in Gansters paradise that goes been spending most our lives
was "can't stand emotional lies!!!

WigWamBam · 06/08/2005 20:06

Golden Brown, texture like sun
Lays me down, with my mind she runs

I think you'll find ...

franke · 06/08/2005 20:08

Sister Sledge 'We are family' there is a line which sounds like 'just let me staple the vicar'
I've no idea.

A friend of mine thought "LSI - Love sex intelligence" (can't remember who by) was "Love, sex and jellyjets"...I still haven't discovered what jellyjets are - she must have been into kinky sex

Tommy · 06/08/2005 21:41

Thank you Wigwambam - I'll pass that on to my friend's DH the next time I see him!

I used to think Michael Jacksons Thriller was......

Come Doctor Cilla

bluebear · 06/08/2005 22:31

This thread has inspired me to look up the real lyrics to 'Where have all the cowboys gone'.

The bit I always sing as 'Where is my furry sock?' (to much laughter in the office...so I guessed it was wrong.
It's actually ' Where is my Prairie Son?'

(everyone else at work thought it was 'burning sun' so I can tell them that they're wrong too.

My fav. misheard lyric is 'like a battery hen...' instead of bat out of hell

I used to listen really carefully when I heard Shania Twain's song 'that don?t impress me much' because I couldn't believe what I was hearing. I thought she said "I can't believe you kiss your cock at night" in the end I needed a young teenage girl to point out that it was in fact "I can't believe you kiss your car goodnight"

lucy5 · 07/08/2005 17:27

My dh thought that, oh my corazon was oh my currant bun in The Clash's song Spanish bombs in Andalucia.

henshake · 07/08/2005 21:23

Okay I'm new to this, I've figured out what PMSL is but what on earth is ROFL.

Shamu the mysterious whale is tickling me soooo much.

My sister used to sing Take your teeth out, tell me what's wrong to Chiquatita, tell me what's wrong (Abba) and we both used to sing A wella wullu to You're the one that I want - Grease.

DD sings to the end of the Miffy song, eh blurgh. Took me ages, cause she joins in, to figure out it's and friends.

Not sure how to spell Abba song title, sorry.

luckylady · 08/08/2005 11:25

PMSL- singsong.

This whole thread has had me laughing
