AIBU to ask which lyrics you've been getting wrong?

[AIBUPODCAST]

Hello - Producer Amanda has just found out that a friend of hers thought the lyric to the first line of Brain Adams' Summer Of 69' was 'Got my first real sex dream' .... it's 'Got my first real SIX STRING' .. an easy mistake to make though...
So AIBU to ask for your similar lyrical mix-ups?

The Pussycat Dolls

When I grow up
I wanna see the world
Drive nice cars
I wanna have boobies

and Hozier

Take me to church
I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of delights

I think it's subliminal...I do want boobies and my dog definitely worships anywhere there are delights to be had!

**Timeforachangeof

This is an oldie
Mersey dotes and dozy dotes and Little lambsy divey
Diddly, divey too wouldn’t you.

I know this one-
Mares eat oats and does eat oats and little lambs eat ivy!

My mum sings it to my little boy

DD2 is adamant that the Killers want to know are we human or are we hamsters?

In the days before the internet (or even Smash Hits), I thought one line in Bohemian Rhapsody was ‘spare him his life for his warm sausage tea’, even though it made no sense whatsoever.

At risk of outing myself but too pissed to care

Shy FX "shake your body"

The line should be... "who you been talkin' to and walkin' to the hot spots with..."

Except I sung "who you been talkin' to and walkin' to the hospice with"

I was about 15 at the time and didn't truly realise what I was going on about. Until it was pointed out to me.

Oh the shame...

‘Who you gonna call?

THOSE BASTARDS!!’

La Isla Bonita by Madonna
Young girl with eyes like potatoes...just like a leprechaun they knew the song.

I also thought that ABBA were sick and tired of everything, when they called you last night from Tesco.
I thought she'd got fed up while shopping.

Yes!!! I also originally thought she was using a racist term right at the beginning of the song - "Last night I dreamt of some [offensive slang term for an Italian - corruption of the name Diego]".

It's actually 'I dreamt of San Pedro".

Grandad mentioned up thread...watching TOTP

"why are they singing Going Rusty?"

Ghostbusters, grandad!!

He's awesome, 90 and deaf but otherwise fit as a fiddle.

I phone a few times a month. Every time I say Hi Grandad it's Jelly, is Nan there? " and get hung up on because he thinks it's a sales call 😂. Nan always dies 1471 and calls straight back.

*dials 1471

Also, grandad wasn't 90 when Ghostbusters was on TOTP!

I've had all the wine. I'm barely seeing thr screen.

Abba - Super Trouper. Always thought it was "When I called you last night from Tesco" (it's actually Glasgow 🙈)

Also, Westlife - Flying without Wings. Himself always sings "Some find a chair they never noticed"

The Israelites by Desmond Dekker

Get up in the morning , same thing for breakfast

instead of

Get up in the morning, slaving for bread, sir

I still have to look it up.

I had exactly the same mishearing of 'The Israelites'! A friend of mine thought that 'Long to reign over us' in God Save the Queen was 'Long to rain over us' - fairly appropriate for the British National Anthem!

Another one for The Killers. Are we human or are we dancers....

Talking to a young lady yesterday at a group I go to and All The Single Ladies came on. She said when she was little she thought Beyoncé was singing
