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

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 Blush) 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 Shock

(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 Blush)

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

I'm dying a little inside here.

Every time you go away....you take a piece of meat with you.

MrsTerryPratchett · 14/11/2019 17:35

So @RozHuntleysStump if you invite Paul round he's leaving his hat and taking meat? Seems fair.

The first line of 'Hung up' by Madonna. Time goes by , so slowly(slowly). DH sings ' Dance to the Spice Girls' , very random! My own -Bruno Mars Just the way you are. Her lips, her lips I could kiss the malty if she let me. Also Taylor Swift in BlankSpace singing about 'All the lonely Starbucks lovers 'is actually '. Got a long list of ex lovers' ...Mind blown.

Verbena37 · 14/11/2019 17:45

I never knew until reading your post that George M did not sing Wake Me Up.

transformandriseup · 14/11/2019 17:51

I always thought it was Roman cavalry choirs in Viva la Vida, but DS convinced me I was stupid and it was Roman Catholic choirs. I am vindicated!!

This whole thread has been an education.

My We Built this City fail was 'Mahoney (police academy) plays the bagpipes'
I was only a kid. A few years ago caught my husband singing 'I'm an alien, I'm an evil alien'

@MockersthefeMANist I'm crying upon reading your TOPLOADER UPDATE Grin

Wonkydonkey44 · 14/11/2019 17:55

Katie Perry’s song ‘feels’ I sang ‘ don’t be afraid to catch fish’ Blush my husband nearly died laughing when he heard me .

Bob Marley's Fiddler's paradise

Heaviestdirtyestsoul · 14/11/2019 18:03

Asked my dad why he was singing about leeds United, madonna's hey mr dj put a record on- it says do you like my acid rock- dads been singing leeds United at the top for years 🤣🤣🤣 mind you- I used to think bob Marley was singing about being together with a roof rack over our heads.

"I never knew until reading your post that George M did not sing Wake Me Up."

Okay, now I'm really confused...

Macy Grey

Correct lyrics "my world crumbles when you are not near"

I sang
"I wear goggles when you are not near"

Song lyrics
"I'm a different person"

I sang/heard
"I'm a big cross-dresser"

AndNoneForGretchenWieners · 14/11/2019 18:49

Also... DS thinks Aerosmith and Run DMC are singing "hey fiddle fiddle with the kiddy in the middle". He is convinced they are perverts Grin

shinynewapple · 14/11/2019 18:51

@AmICrazyorWhat2 I thought he was taking his horse to his hotel room as well. Also thought it was about sex and a euphemism for god-knows-what!

minou123 · 14/11/2019 19:03

I have another Blush

Gangsta's Paradise by Coolio.
My lyrics:
But I have never crossed a man that didnt deserve it
me be treated like a punk you know that's unheard of
you better watch out how you're talkin, and where you're walkin
or you and your homies might be lying in salt

The correct line is or you and your homies might be lined in chalk.

Also the line I'm an educated fool with money on my mind
I thought he said I'm an educated fool with my knee on my mind

I was in shock when Bryan Adam's didnt get his first thrill at 16 in the summer of 69. Blush

@Anonanonanonanonanonanonanon I always sing 'I'm a Cilla Black fan alright', nice to know it's not just me. 😁

AryaStarkWolf · 14/11/2019 20:19

Another who up until very recently thought Dire Straights got there cheques for free.

Get your free corn! Bloody love that Grin

SaggySadSack · 14/11/2019 20:32

Anybody wanna guess what I thought Candi Staton was singing when she sang:

Occasionally I cry out, "Lord, what must I do".
Occasionally I call up, "Master, make me new"

😁 in my defence - I was young and stupid and didn't realise the song was all about God 🤦🏼‍♀️
