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.

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

For me it was “Excuse me while I kiss this guy”. Correct lyric: “Excuse me while I kiss the sky” from Jimi Hendrix’s ‘Purple Haze’ and “All the lonely Starbucks lovers”. Correct lyric: “Got a long list of ex-lovers” from Taylor Swift’s ‘Blank Space’.
I think we all do it from time to time lol !

I used to belt out Alicia Keyes & JayZ “New York “ thinking I was so down with the kids.
“New York , Concrete jungle wet dreams are made of “ .
I don’t sing so much any more.

WeBuilt my ex colleagues little boy used to sing "Hot Dog Jumping Frog Alberts Turkey"

Crying!

thuglife, you have redeemed that song for me, I always thought it was a very rude song!
I'm on a train having to pretend to have a coughing fit while really crying with laughter - the very good looking guy across from me is giving me some very strange looks and I don't think it's because he fancies me 😁

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

I thought it was "I'm smoking weed".

Guess I need to stop singing that now...

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

Our friends gave us a mug with a photo of a scene from the Sweeney saying exactly this. LOL

@Fandoozle1 well bloody hell I thought it was Roman Catholic too!!!

@Itsemily my husband also thought it was Roman catholic haha

“It only snows in Africa at Christmas time l”

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’.

Mind. Blown.

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

Minou yeah I'm with you. That's crap. It's still going to be femidom in the Tit household.

My brother used to sing "You know I'm searching food for you" for Linger by the Cranberries (You know I'm such a fool for you)

I thought Come-a Chameleon too.

And come to me on a submarine

Man in the mirror in thought was “no moustache gonna make any cover” rather than “no message could have been any clearer”. I think it makes sense in the context of the song!

I remember happily singing along to The Shamen when I was 7 or 8

“Ebeneezer good ebeneezer good”. Thinking the mist have been taking about Scrooge or a similar named chap.

Conversation in the pub some years later and I find out it’s actually “E’s are good”

Robbed of my childhood innocence 😂

I could never work out how on Earth you could put a lion in a coconut...... there's just no way it would fit 🤔

I was about 25 when I realised it was put the LIME in the coconut!

I thought he was saying 'I'm gonna take this horse to my hotel room, I'm gonna ride til I can't no more' for months. I still struggle to sing old town road even though it's the songs name 😂

It was only last summer I realised that in Toto's "Africa" the words aren't

"There's nothing that a hundred men on Mars could ever too" but "a hundred men or more" .

The kitchen advert with how deep is your love.. you come to me on a summer breeze. That seems a bit more achievable than the submarine that I've thought it was for years

"Every night she washed my in-betweens, since I met her from the start."

Years later I was informed it is actually "Every night she walked right in my dreams" .. Michael Jackson, The Girl is mine (opening line).

If you listen to it, that's all you will hear; Every night she washed my in-betweens.

'Hair toss, check for nits' (hair toss, check my nails. Good as Hell, Lizzo).

I genuinely thought it was an elaborate radio ad for nit spray. I'm so old.

"A golden solo" sounds like someone trying to pee onto their own face!

Conversation in the pub some years later and I find out it’s actually “E’s are good”

The words are actually "Eezer Goode 'Eezer Goode He's Ebeneezer Goode" but yeah it's more likely to be about E's than Scrooge :p

@Redtartanshoes

There's a guy in the place who's got a bittersweet face
And he goes by the name of Ebeneezer Goode
His friends call him 'Ezeer and he is the main geezer

Did you know also it references weed? "Got any veras" = Vera Lynns = skins/rizlas

Slightly embarrassing that I remember all that, but could explain why my brain is totally fucked so I can't work out any other lyrics
