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.

Years ago I heard my 5 year old DS singing loudly in his room, "Sing Lasagne! Sing Lasagne! Sing Lasagne to the King of Kings!". He absolutely thought that was what the words were. Bless.

Candy Staton "Bought a basque to make me new"
in You got the Love

(I now know it's something like Master make me new but I still sing it my way)

Surely not! You're wrong too. He has his jumbalees, obviously.

Isn't it normally only ladies who have those?!

Turns out, Jonah "made his home in that fish abdomen". Except whales aren't fish, so it's still wrong.

It originally said 'big fish' - not whale - so that isn't necessarily the part that's wrong

@Ohyesiam

Oh dear

I'm another one who didn't get the whole strong beliefs thing.

I thought he had a strombolise. I had a vague idea he was a penniless musician, with some sort of trombone-like instrument.

I think my favourite misheard lyric was on a previous MN thread where someone's gran used to sing 'Those bastards!' instead of 'Ghostbusters!'

That Candy Stanton is full of them.

“Sometimes I feel like throwing my pants up in the air”

And I've remembered some more from that other thread - must see if I can find it.

I can see Deidre now Lorraine has gone.

And

Bill Oddy, Bill Oddy, Put your hands all over my body.

Should be working right now. Getting distracted and sniggering a lot.

Here's one

Money for nothing, and your chips for free

always sounded like a good deal to me!

Rachel Stevens song yonks ago called sweet dreams my LA Ex.

You mean she isn't singing about the airport? I confess I was really confused the first time I heard it.

The one with the Cousin Billy revelation

Golden solo is defo a wank that is enhanced by pouring a beaker of your own wazz over your body. (If you’re a bloke it’s probably hard to wazz and wank at same time, hence wazz-beaker preparation beforehand.)

Ah, clearly you have a two penis beaker household, @BareKneesDeCourcy

Wazz'n'Wash.

This is not mine (although god knows I've embarrassed myself enough already here ) but who was the MNer who thought Simon and Garfunkel were two brothers - Simon and Garth Funkel? That always makes me laugh still!

Garth Funkel!!

And stop ruining my favourite Wham song with mental images like that please, thank you!

This thread is funny, let's not ruin it with any penis beakers

Sorry, I was just trying to be practical.

MarianaMoatedGrange

That would totally be the case if I owned any beakers, no that’s not right, that would totally be the case if there were any penis danglers in this household. Sadly not!

I might take the idea to Dragon’s Den though.

Another one for not getting strong beliefs, i thought it was"my lovers got no money, he's got his thongy briefs"
I prefer mine

And i'm not wearing them again if he's had them on

😂😂😂. This made my afternoon

My best friend used to think Madonna said “Strike a post” in Vogue and a friend at school thought she was singing about a “girl with eyes like potatoes” in L’Isla Bonita.

Clearly Madge needs elocution lessons if so many folk are mishearing her lyrics.

My personal fav is not a misheard lyric as such, but something Scott Mills once pointed out on Radio 1 years ago and has stuck with me ever since. Christina Perri sounds like she’s singing about a “Jar o’ farts” as opposed to the actual lyric “Jar of hearts”.

I could never get my head round why Lil Nas was gonna take his horse to the hotel room!

And as for Cold Play.. why were they dreaming of a Pair of Tights??

I thought he had a strombolise. I had a vague idea he was a penniless musician, with some sort of trombone-like instrument.

Yep same here!

I thought Wham were singing whip me up before your cocoa.....

Younger me thought 'Sisters are doing it for themselves' was 'Sisters are doing women's things'

Clearly I was a little misogynist! No idea what counted as a 'womens thing'
