I've been innocently singing along to this for years...

I've only just realised how bizarre the song Delilah is. I've got such fond memories of singing along with the chorus as a kid, wtf did no one tell me?!

Anyone else suddenly realised what the lyrics to a song mean?

I was a huge music fan and played my mum's records over and over again during the 80s. Most of her stuff was 60s and 70s lps. I would go around the house happily singing 'Papa star papa star papa starrrr'.

When I was much older, I realise the actual words. 'Fuck a star, fuck a star, fuck a starrr'. Oops. Hopefully I was too tone deaf and out of tune for anyone to realise what I was blathering on about.

I know, I couldn't believe I hadn't realised! Shock

Haha alternative, as if your mum let you go round singing it. She probably didn't want to correct you!

"You're supreme..you're just the cream" turns out these aren't the words to Greased Lightning... Blush for my 8 year old self innocently singing a quite rude song!
