To have only realised after THIRTY FIVE years that George Michael wasn't planning on a golden solo?!

[WeBuiltCisCityOnSexistRoles]

Yes, I may as well share this with MN as it cheered DH up so much this morning...

I have only just realised (embarrassingly whilst singing this in earshot of DH ) that in Wake me you before you go go, George Michael wasn't actually singing "I'm not planning on a golden solo" and instead he just didn't want to be going solo

(disclaimer: I was young when this song came out! I assumed a golden solo he meant he didn't want to be in the spotlight - having written that down I realise how fucking stupid it sounds )

Also, he wasn't singing Cherrybug in this song either. Well who knew? (According to DH - everyone)

I'm dying a little inside here.

Summer lovin ( from grease ) the line near then end "Summer dreams ripped at the Seam,s "

I thought it was "So my jeans ripped at the seams" !

I too like Peter Kay's misheard lyrics - 'staple the Vicar'.

@WeBuiltCisCityOnSexistRoles

"I can see clearly now the train is gone"

These are "mondegreens" which you can google!

Other things that puzzled me as a [logical] child "There is a green hill far away without a city wall". Well, it's a green hill, and does not therefore need a city wall!

I still my remember my gran being shocked that Abba weren't actually sick and tired of being thin when they called you last night from Tescos.

@postersoupforbrains me too with Like a Prayer - I only discovered this about five years ago. Many years of singing Level Crossing at the top of my voice!

My other one was Oasis, "in the morning rain, as she soaks sheets in a bowl".

I'm sure there are many more I just haven't been alerted to yet!

Billy Ocean singing "Go and get stuffed" always seemed more appropriate than "going gets tough"

I'm still getting over the shock of another MN lyrics thread when I discovered that Dusty Springfield wasn't actually having a very, very close relationship with a family member.

Cousin Billy did not, in fact, take her walking.

@kungfupannda - I had "Show Eddie horse I'm done" for the Dua Lipa song!

Well, when she stops showering Eddie, that'll show him!

And speaking of Eddie...

Eddie are you okay, are you okay Eddie?

No-one ever cares if Eddie's okay. Only Annie.

Alanis Morrisette has a crossed eyed bear.

No idea why.

Many posters have mentioned “The Israelites” - Desmond Dekker, but can anyone remember the advert?

The REAL lyrics tho:

Damn, great minds!!!

As probably has already mentioned ' knights in White Satin'

Both my DH and I thought the lyrics to Cool for Cats by Squeeze were this: The Sweeney's doing 90 'cause they've got nowhere to go...

It's this: The Sweeny's doing 90 'cause they've got the word to go

What? WHAT?? But - but it's been "they've got nowhere to go" my whole life! Right up until this moment!

It took me until I read an article online to discover the Ariana Grande lyric "keep me in your orbit" was not in fact "keep me in your armpit"

It was only recently that I realised that in Blue Monday he sees a ship in the harbour but it's not in a "shallow bay."

Still laughing at Jason Waterfalls

What about the Vitalite advert?

TOPLOADER UPDATE

It's just occured to me, maybe it's

We get it, almost, every night,

In which case, they don't actually get it at all.

Which seems a shame.

It is red golden dreams. Surely 🤣🤣

Apparently Dire Straits don't actually get their

Money for nothing and their cheques for free.

Who knew?? Yes, everybody knew. Except me.

Cheques...?

It was chicks. Definitely.

The Peter Kay sketch on this is the best thing ever
