A few years ago I was driving and listening to Ballroom Blitz by The Sweet. My DD1 announced she loved the song and was singing along heartily. It was about halfway through the song when I realised she was singing

"And he fell into a bowl of mix"

I cried laughing.

DS told me recently that she had been listening to Alanis Morrisette and her DD was singing along then she asked why did he give her a cross-eyed bear?

As in " and I'm here to remind you.........of the cross-eyed bear that you gave to me.....you oughta know!"

Please indulge me and share your giggles

According to DD Meghan Trainor sings

All about that bass
'Bout that bass
NO GERBILS!

As a child I sang

Fee fo whoa instead of
Feed the world - I am reminded of this every Christmas (and still sing my version!)

With the David Bowie song my BFF used to sing 'I tried to find her cos I loved her sister (should be cos I can't resist her). Changed the meaning a bit!

DD then aged 7. The 'Special's - Too much too young' End lyric "try wearing a cap" She thought it was "dog wearing a hat". Too cute. She loves dogs.

Up down ferky were
Up down ferky w

End "w" said phonetically

It was of course....
Uptown Funk You Up
We still call it Ferky W!

Nephew's comment while Adele was on in the car - "Why would she set fire to Lorraine?"

llangennith · 01/12/2016 23:43

DD1 then aged 4 came home from school singing,
"Who built the ark? no-one no-one. Who built the ark? Brath no-one built the ark".
She listened politely while I explained exactly why I knew it had to be Noah who'd built the ark and I thought she'd believed me. However, when she came home from school the next day she was amazed that the teacher had confirmed that it was indeed Brother Noah who'd built the ark.

Dd was at secondary school before she realised that it is ' I vow to thee my country' and not 'I vow to leave the country'.

But the trucks don't work , instead of when the drugs don't work by the verve 😒

My son used to love "stand in the river"
When I told him it was "stand and deliver" he told me I was silly and that didn't make sense

burblish · 02/12/2016 02:11

DS used to sing along to "Love Shack" by the B-52s - but he thought the words were "Ruck sack, baby, ruck sack!"

Weneverworked · 02/12/2016 02:12

My DD thought the BeeGees 'Staying alive' was 'Stain a light'
When we asked her what on earth she thought it meant, she said she thought it was some kind of cleaning product.

HubbaBubbaMum · 02/12/2016 02:56

Instead of 'I am the Lord of the dance said he' .....'I am the Lord of the dance settee' . Ds was very insistent it IS settee!

Amethyst81 · 02/12/2016 05:22

DD2 Fleetwood Mac Little Lies "give me eyes give me sweet little eyes, yeah yeah I wanna step to the sky" I can't remember the proper version of that song now!

Snurf · 02/12/2016 05:56

Instead of hey sexy ladies in gangnam style, my two sing hey, sister lady bear! No idea why but I prefer it personally and certainly won't be correcting them!

chubbytubbybyebye · 02/12/2016 06:24

Last year my daughter was singing about Beth's knee hen and baby cheesus. That was a hard concert to get through without giggling

Starypjs · 02/12/2016 06:29

'Shake it like a poor old preacher' instead of polaroid picture. Even now I know it's wrong I still sing it.

Pilgit · 02/12/2016 07:23

"Glory holy spearmint" instead of "spirit". And "sexy balls sexy balls sexy balls today" instead of "sixty four sixty four sixty four zoo lane". She had a habit of singing that all over the place!

Groovee · 02/12/2016 07:42

At brownies we sing Brownie Bells.

Have often hear "Oh lord our god, thy children call grant us some peas and bless us all good night" instead of grant us some peace.

OhhBetty · 02/12/2016 07:44

"Hit me with your pet shark" instead of "hit me with your best shot".

Wheresthattomoibabber · 02/12/2016 07:54

"And all the Asians sang to him" instead of angels

monkeywithacowface · 02/12/2016 07:57

"Abby are you wonky" instead of Annie are you Ok

dancemom · 02/12/2016 08:01

Taylor Swift was sweaty too instead of 22 when dd was young!

Metallica, Enter Sandman. 'Sleep with one eye open' became 'chicken one iota'.

littleostrich · 02/12/2016 08:20

My cousin when she was younger, singing the chorus from Eminem's Stan:

"My tea's gone cold, I'm wondering why I got out of bed at all
The morning rain clouds up my window
And I can't see a dog."

dementedma · 02/12/2016 08:23

The hymn " worship his majesty" was belted out cheerfully by dd as "wash up his majesty".
