Misheard song lyrics (sorry)!
There is a song that has been playing on the jukebox at work quite a lot recently, I found out today it's Erotic by Madonna.
Until now I've been singing 'Bill Oddie, Bill Oddie, put your hands all over my body'.
I'm pretty gutted now I know the real words!

Sorry if these are repeats:
Three, two, right foot (Eton Rifles)
I can see Dierdre now Lorraine has gone (I can see clearly now the rain has gone) - was actually a spoof Our Tune but still makes me laugh.

My (adult) nephew used to sing aggressively along to The Prodigy "Smash My Picture!"

Made me chuckle, especially as he appeared to be deadly serious.

Fairytale of New York.

I could have sworn it was "And then they sang a song, the rare old Latin tune." I assumed it was about them singing Adeste Fideles, with it being Christmas and everything....

"when I called you last night from Tesco" and "death row hard-on"

Glad it's not just me with those two!

I always thought I had these lyrics completely wrong but I turned out to be spot-on:

wise men save
near a tree by a river
there's a hole in the ground
where an old man of aran
goes around and around
and his mind is a beacon
in the veil of the night
for a strange kind of fashion
there's a wrong and a right

An old uni housemate and I regularly debated the lyrics of "died in your arms". He thought it was

Ra! I just died in your arms tonight - about a sun-god worshiper

I thought it was

Ma! I just died in your arms tonight - about someone having an affair with their stepmother. Especially since I was sure there was something in about "loving by proxy...my father's mistake"

The Sidewinder, REM, is apparently: "Call me when you try to wake her up ..."

I prefer calling Jamaica - it's easier to sing as well Grin

REM Sidewinder lyrics are "Coming to wake her up"....I think Confused

Agree with so many of these especially the "I believe in Milko" & "Trombaleez"

You picked a fine time to leave me Lucile,
four hundred children and a crop in the field


:o That baffled me for years.

In Nicole Scherzingers Wet it sounds like "take me home and pull me off in the shower" when its actually "cool me off."
