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.

Wasn't a femidom a female condom? It didn't really catch on.

Taylor Swift “I only bought this dress so you could take it up”.

Err, no husband, she’s not singing about going to a dressmaker. Bless... It’s “TAKE IT OFF!” 😂

Billy Joel's Innocent Man - I always heard it as "Elephant Man"

Lol! I love stuff like that. How about Toxic by Britney 'with the tears of a poisoned carrot egg.' I can't even hear it like that anymore now I know how it actually goes

@waspsnest I thought it was "my lovers got no money, he has his tromboleese" often wondered what a tromboleese was

Apparently the real lyrics to We Are Family are:

Just let me state for the record = Just let me staple the vicar
We're giving love in a family dose = we're giving love in a femidom

There is no way they are singing We're giving love in a family dose, no way. Bullshit

@waspnest sorry

Mine was "Trailers for Sailor rent" in King Of The Road, found out last year its actually "for Sale or Rent".

I always thought the later line was "I smoke old bogies I have found." Eeeuuuuuwwwww!!!!

I was surprised to learn that bananarama weren’t “guilty as a cocoa bean” in their 1987 hit “love in the first degree!

I thought it was "Guilty as a gherkin be." Slightly odd grammatical form there - and what have pickled cucumbers done so wrong anyway?!

"You picked a fine time to leave me, Lucille. With four hundred children and a crop in the field."

"I drove all night, crapped in your room. Woke you from your sleep to make love to you. Is that all right?" Not the behaviour most guaranteed to excite and woo somebody into intimacy, is it?!

"I don't know how you do it, I'm always in the dark - eating lots of powdered egg and giving off farts."

@zemblanity say whaaaat?

They are NOT golden dreeeeams?!!!

Well that's my world crushed on this rainy Thursday afternoon

In Runaway by Bon Jovi, turns out it's 'touch of sable in their eyes'. Not semen. Who knew?

Loyault I think the proper lyrics don't make a great deal of sense tbf. Why do strong beliefs mean you have no money?

The chorus of Sidewinder sleeps tonight by REM.

“Calling Cheryl Baker”...

Husband again, I don’t even know how he hears that but the thought of American singer Michael Stipe singing about a member of Bucks Fizz makes me giggle.

In Maroon 5s sugar lips song I thought it was “when I’m without you I’m soaked in wee”, not “something weak”!

DH sings: "Who you gonna call? THOSE BASTARDS!"

Instead of 'Ghost Busters', he does know the real lyric now but still her persists.

In Bohemian Rhapsody, I used to sing 'Spare him his life from his Walls Sausages', instead of 'from his monstrosity'/

As a kid, I always heard "Don't go, Jason Waterfalls!" instead of "Don't go chasing waterfalls." I guess I thought 'Waterfalls' was just his last name!

"I drove all night, crapped in your room. Woke you from your sleep to make love to you. Is that all right?" Not the behaviour most guaranteed to excite and woo somebody into intimacy, is it?!

It's a bit niche, certainly.

What about the catchy Madonna song - 'poppadom peach'?

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....

Well @OwlBeThere I've learnt something today as I've always sung it as "where nobody knows that it's not okay" !!

I used to think that Desmond Dekker was complaining that, "my ears are alight" (The Israelites)

haha I used to think it was "the hills are alive"

@Drinkciderfromalemon & @OnlyTheTitOfTheIceberg ah ok thanks , don't think I know that one

NCusefromtheblcklagoon, I thought it said that too

Pink Floyd The Wall;
"no dogs or cats are in the classroom. ."

I went to the danger zone, it’s actually highway to the danger zone.

Also, mamas and papas California dreaming, it sounds like ‘got down on my knees and I began to pray’ when it’s ‘pretend to pray’.

DD burst into singing Queen one day , was going terribly until she bellowed

"PRISCILLAAAA NOOO We will not let you go!"

I always thought Dua Lipa was singing about her gnome collection.....'I got gnomes I got 'em'

In hysterics. Best thread for AGES!
