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.

My FIL horrified his grandchildren singing Angels by Robbie Williams - a lot of love and erections...

@BadgertheBodger 's sister has won this thread - I couldn't stop laughing at that.

I also laughed at DH when he thought Florence and The Machine were singing about "such sweet dolphins"*

*sweet nothings.

Just thought of another one.

As if I wasn't shocked enough when I realised Cake by the Ocean wasn't about a picnic, I also thought DNCE were singing about going blind from their sweet sweet sweet gravy* whoaoh

*I'm going blind from this sweet-sweet craving

Not misheard but I like to sing "I'm calling for pizza" instead of "I'm falling to pieces" from the Script's Breakeven.

Take me to the place where you go, where nobody knows If it’s night or day
Not ‘not our day’ like I’ve sang since the 90s....

I am 100% with you on this! Never ever even questioned that it wasn't "not our day".

I thought Cristina Aguilera's "I'm a genie in a bottle" was "I'm not cheating in the final".
I had exams at the time so I may have been projecting (had now intention of cheating!).

Loving would be easy if your colours were like my dreams
They're golden dreams, they're golden dreeeeeams

Worse, I thought it was wet golden dreams!

Given that it’s blatantly a song about sex vs wanking, your lyric may be even better than the original 😂

- WHY DID I NEVER REALISE THIS BEFORE????????

Hold me close sir, tie me down sir

I always thought the song 'ebenezer good' said "if your name's not Dan, you're not coming in" I thought that would be a very strange nightclub full of men called Dan off their tits on ecstasy. It was about 10yrs before I realised my mistake.

Fleetwood Mac’s Everywhere confused me:

I'll speak a little louder / I'll even shower

Not quite sure why I thought they were trying to convince someone with the bare minimum of personal hygiene (it is, of course, “I’ll even shout”)

Oh and of course from Golden Brown......with my manchero. Only found out recently it's with my mind she runs....I think that's a common one

Definitely this. I just thought a manchero was a South American musical instrument (?). Or a poncho. Or something. But no idea why he would lie down with it.

The Shakira song "Whenever, Wherever" when she sang the part;
"Lucky that my lips not only mumble
They spill kisses like a fountain
Lucky that my breasts are small and humble
So you don't confuse them with mountains"

I would sing.... " So you don't confuse them with MARTIN'S!" 🙈 I always wondered who martin was and why he had breasts....

"Towelling for me, and towelling for you"

Something's Gotten Hold of My Heart (or my dressing-gown maybe)

@BadgertheBodger your sis & The Prodigy is hillarious 🤣🤣🤣

@AppropriateAdult or like a "golden shower" on your own?! 😂😂😂

I always thought Dire Straights was a person and always wondered why anyone would call a child 'Dire' 😳
Also just found out that Jimmy Hendrix is not a band.....

@ReallyRatherBlonde

Marconi created the radio. Maybe Bernie meant to say 'mambo.' Maybe it means: If you don't like this music, some really angry snakes are gonna come out of the speakers.1" Craig Chaquico (Starship guitarist): "Marconi's the guy who invented the radio, and his style of music was the mamba*.

I think your version might be better though* 😂😂

Also does anyone remember when there was a charity release of the song 'Love Can Build A Bridge'? I honestly thought the lyrics were too share with you the last bite of GURD I had to eat'. Sang it out loud in front of all my friends. Still never lived it down over 20 years later!

Lol @ Tiny Dancer 😂

Get your rock salt! 😂

Get a muff downtown!

The Boney M version of a song from the ‘60s had my brother and I giggling.

FANNY one so true, I love you.

(Sunny.)

Groove Armada - Take me to the River. For years I sang, "If you find a statue with salty hair" instead of "If you're fond of sand dunes and salty air".

There's also a Spice Girls song (can't remember which one) which I'm sure has the lyrics "You have got to pick John up, never lose control". I've never googled because I like living in blissful ignorance.

New Miley Cyrus/ Ariana Grande song : my DH believed the lyrics were 'dont call me Rachel'. Until he heard me singing it (dont call me Angel), and said - that makes a lot more sense, I was wondering who the fuck Rachel was and what she had done wrong
