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!

"I'm a Cilla Black fan on bike" is apparently not the message that Meatloaf was hoping to get across in Bat Out of Hell.....

DD used to sing 'more than a woman' as 'more than a womble'

YY Crosspatch. I only found out the real lyrics on Mumsnet a few weeks ago.

'My love has got no money, he's got his strombelice'.

That Florence and Calvin Harris song is currently stuck in my head. I hear 'you're giving me sexy airplanes' which I know cannot be right, but I have no idea what it is.

It's not "the devil is the skies". I learnt this circa one year ago.

For ages i thought Shania was singing "I can't believe you kiss your carpet knife", slightly fixed by this until I realised it was car at night.

As a teenager, listening to the Dirty Dancing soundtrack I was a little horrified when my Mum began to sing "hold my arse..." instead of hungry eyes,I had to correct her. Oh the embarrassment!

AKissIsNotAContract · 02/02/2013 07:20

My mum thought Take that's 'All I do each night is pray' was 'all I do is shine my face'

A few years ago now but still makes me smile.

DD used to sing 'Hi ho, hi ho, it's off to work we go...with a shovel and a pig and a walking stick...'
She had numerous reasons why the dwarves would take a pig with them.

Meatballs,meatballs,meat-meat-meat-meat-meatballs - some eighties song,can't remember who!

Funnily enough just yesterday I was listening to REM The Sidewinder Sleeps & thinking about 'calling Cheryl Baker up'. Still not sure what the words are but I'm pretty sure Michael Stipe isn't singing about phoning a member of Bucks Fizz Grin

catgirl1976 · 02/02/2013 08:27

There is a dance tune that goes

"Iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii Can't get enough. No, no, no, no"

DH spent many a year trying to look cool in nightclubs whilst singing

"Iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii Can't get it up..........."

That Ocean Colour Scene song. I always thought it was "write another song like 'Billy Heard the Day He Caught the Train'", as if that was the full name of the song, rather than writing a song that was like the one Billy heard that day. On worked that out a few weeks ago!

chanie44 · 02/02/2013 09:10

My niece (aged 10) thought that Michael Jacksons 'billie jean' was 'skinny jeans'.

TLC 'creep' - I always sing 'you're a creep'. It was only recently that oh corrected me that its 'so I creep'.

A "deathrow hard-on" always confused me too! I assumed it was caused by the effects of the chair! Shock

MrsHelsBels74 · 02/02/2013 20:27

On Tears Are Not Enough I thought there was a bit that said 'yes you showed your penis, yes you showed your chuff' ShockBlush
