Wtf did they sit in?

[BuggarMeGently]

Nights in white sat in...what? A chair? A cow pat?

I had to read it a couple of times

Greggs steak pasty?

Something the cat brought up?

You are mocking a classic, one of my favourites!

Shame on you

I used to think it was actual Knights

But of course they were singing about these slippy slidey sheets. I prefer the Knights.

I really must stop posting on here after a Red Wine Bender. What about:

I was sick and tired of everythiiiiing
When I called you last night from tesco...

The Neverending Story? (Well, it does go on to say "never reaching the end..." )

KNIGHTS in white satin= Sir Cliff in a silky nighty...gross!!!

Just realised about the missing "K", so not entirely what was intended from the lyrics - oops

I think this is what Sir Cliff wears to do his sexing.

That's disturbing sqoosh

Do you think he's ever waxed his chest?

Wow. Just wow. I always thought it was knights. That's a revelation. Must listen to lyrics next time.

I'm the OP with a new NN...and Sir Cliff...BOAK! Now Gordon Ramsay in white silk...

It is knights!

And I love you < plugs in eatphones to listen to best song ever>

If it's any comfort it is only this week that I found out what 'great balls of fire' song was about.

It's kind of ruined it now for me.....

A mumsnet version...

And I love glue
Cutted Pear too
CU-ube of poo-ooo!

And...erm...wtaf is Great Bslls Of Fire really about? All I know is it's one of my fave things to play on piano ..beats a punchbag any day!

Is it about flaming nackers or something then Milminge?

I've just looked on wiki and it says 'The song title is derived from a Southern expression, which some Christians consider blasphemous, that refers to the Pentecost's defining moment when the Holy Spirit manifested as "cloven tongues as of fire" and the Apostles spoke in tongues.'

I've never wondered before but I need to know now

It is not Knights. It's Nights!

Ignore me, I meant nights.

I'm a tit .

Agent gonna ask my mom bout the "blastpheme" thing...she knows the bible dead well . Interesting!

I always thought (and DH did too, just for the numbers) it was knights in white satin.

Well I never.

I was assured this was indeed a reference to overfilled nads/sexual frustration.

I prefer Knight is White Satin. So pristine, so heroic.

Nights in White Satin? Static.

I thought it was from the 70s as well, but it was 1967. I can remember it being on top of the pops though but I was born in 71
