To ask you to share your children's misheard lyrics?

[ladyjadey]

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

"If I could only reach you, if I could make you smile, I'd I could only reach you, that would really be a GRAPEFRUIT! Grapefruuuuit, these barriers of pain..."

Not from my son (he's only 4 months old), but from my nephew.

No DCs but my parents have reminded me of loads of mine!
The best one is 'If you have no tortoise, give them to your sons, one a penny two a penny HOT CRUSS BUNS'- DF still calls me tortoise sometimes!

My DD has great form for mishearing lyrics.
David Bowie's Suffragette City had "don't lean on me man cos you can't afford the chickens or the ducks in my city"
Jake Bugg's Slumville Sunrise was "LOOK LEFT LOOK RIIIIIGHT!"
Nirvana's Teen Spirit was something like "I feel stupid, a potato"
Always cheers me right up reading threads like this.

Post man Pat, Postman Pat, Postman Pat eats his black cat!

That classic caused much hilarity I can tell you!

My niece sings the Spice Girls 'Who Do You Think You Are?' wrongly

Instead of 'What's driving you is ambition and betting' she sings 'What's driving you is conditional wetting'

All about that bass 'bout that bass, no gerbils.

My youngest was insistent that the words on the One Direction track What makes you Beautiful were 'Cook your mom' instead of 'So c-come on'

She also said that the Sugar babes About you now sang 'I know every pigeon' rather than 'I know everything changes'

aw there is a maroon 5 song that says 'if I showed you my flaws' needless to say after my daughter heard it and sang her version we now all sing 'if I showed you my frogs' also that bloody annoying cheerleader song is now 'ooh I think that I found myself a jelly bear'

Peter Kay Amarillo song ' every night il be humphing my pillow'

My friends dd is convinced the lyrics to the latest Little Mix are 'shout out to my ex, you're really quantum egg!'

My 2 used to sing along to Iggy Azeleas 'Fancy' with: 'trash the hotel, let's get drunk on the minibus' instead of minibar.

I quite like the sound of getting drunk on a minibus....

"Teenage Mutant Ginger Turtles" from 5yo DS

Me, listening to The Prodigy.
My 4 year old son, Mum, play that song I like
Me, Which one's that
Son, Take My Picture
Quite sometime spent thinking. Come up with nothing. Eventually, I ask him to hum it. Turns out to be Smack My Bitch Up.
Me, Oh! Take My Picture! Er no, we're not playing that!

Dd sings shoulder blades instead of lady gaga's poker face
Dd and ds1 sing woah fat chicken instead of black Betty
Dd also sings big girls cry when they don't eat breakfast to Sia's big girls cry

Forgot one, all three Dc sing parallelogram or pain au chocolat to coldplay's paradise

Ds to Alexandra Burke's 'Bad Boys'

Bad boys always eating marmite

I just had to look up the real lyrics! They're 'bad boys, always catching my eye'

Sing lasagne
Sing lasagne
Sing lasagne to the King of Kings

Let it goooo, let it goooo, the pasta's in my hairrrrrr
Let it go, let it goooo, that perfect girl has goneee

Not my DC but my mum when she was little and me when I was little:

(Mum) Poetry in motion became: pooey cheese emotions

(Mum) Tulips in Amsterdam became: Two lips and hamster jam

(me) Peter Gabriel's "Sledgehammer" became "I wanna be (BOOOOOAH) A SPACE COWBOY! it's been that ever since

David Zowie House every weekend - Alf every weekend

My dd sings
"Let it go,let it go, your never see my prize"

my younger cousin sang "daisy dukes and beans on toast" for a katy perry song and more recently little brother thought little mix were singing "kissing my arse" rather than "shoutout to my ex"

DS used to think the words to Poker Face went...

"Cherry mine, Cherry mine,
He's got a bit of my poker face
She's got a Hobnob body".

I always wondered whether the last line meant that she had a body that looked like a Hobnob or a body that looked like she'd been eating too many Hobnobs. Either way, unusual lyrics.

Oh and he also sings Uptown Funky Wunk.

DS (5): "I've got the whole world in my pants hands, I've got the whole world in my pants..."

DS has loads of these and I'm going to out myself if anyone we know sees these, but oh well!

"Constant gravy" by KD Lang
"Fartlife" by Blur
"Living on a layer" by Bon Jovi

For months he's been going on about a song called "Chicken salami". I've been telling him there's no such song and eventually asked him to sing it.

"Chicken salami, yeah. Chicken salami, yeah-eh-eh." To the tune of "Everybody (Backstreet's Back)"!!!

And finally, "Oh we're gonna rock down to electric hyper newt!"

This kid is a goldmine for this stuff!
