getting song lyrics wrong

[fatmomma99]

Had SO many things I was going to do today, but it rained, so I didn't do them. Had an incredible MN day (on here for hours!). I've cried and then laughed and then cried again at threads.

Inspired by the one that made me laugh out loud (the thread about making inadvertent suggestive comments, if any of you want to check it out)

Have any MN-ers got song lyrics wrong?

Mine include
When the moon hits your eye like a big piece of pie....

Tea - a drink with German bread

Jumboli, cod-fish pie...

And my sister's was
Sing a new song, Chick Your Teeth Out.

(can provide answers if any of those leave you guessing). What are yours?

Oh and that annoying 90s song is chicka da china the chinese chicken youre half a drumstick and youre brain stoos ticking... my dh still giggles at this

They Might Be Giants - Birdhouse in your soul

Blue canary in the lighthouse by the light switch... oo what she's over you

(should be who watches over you )

I went to see them with my then DP (now DH) 6 years ago, and sang them at the top of my voice along with the rest of the crowd. Turns out that nobody could tell I was saying it wrong anyway

Remember one of Michael Jackson's less popular songs called 'Dirty Diana'? To me the lyrics were always;

"Dirty Diana, no
Dirty Di answer phone".

Everybody's lurking out for liver.....

Macy Gray is "My world crumbles when you are not near."

ZZ Top "Every girl's crazy bout her shot glass man"

Bryan Adams "standing on her mommas Porsche, she told me that she'd wait for ever"

There are certain songs I will never be able to sing properly again. Israeli men, D.I. Eskimo.

In fact, D.I. Eskimo would make a great Skandi style BBC4 drama.

We often listen to Taylor Swift in the car (I have two daughters aged 5 and 8 ...)

Her song '22' begins:

Tonight feels like the perfect night to dress up like hipsters

My 5-year-old often requests the song about dressing up like hamsters, ah bless her

How could I have forgotten
prince charming prince charming stop being dandy showing me your hamster

Throughout my teens I sang along to Guns N Roses, singing:

lovers end up bonking in the cold November Rain...

(Apparently it's "or I'll just end up walking...")

We've had a routine to this very odd song for the last few weeks in spin:

You can see my Army chin
You can see it from my shed

Apparently it's Rihanna and she's actually singing about her heart beating and being able to see it through her chest. The sound system isn't great at the gym, and the song was a new one on me.

:o D.I. Eskimo. I'd definitely watch that.
