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 son (then about 8) was convinced that Little Mix were singing the line ‘I don’t want to hide a soufflé’ - it’s actually ‘hide us away’. I can’t hear the real words now!

And on that note for some bizarre reason, for ages I thought Pulp were all sorted out for "easy whizz" I have no idea why I thought that because it's not an area I am usually naive about

@zoobaby I honestly used to think it was in the bathroom on the right, glad I wasn't the only one!

I'm still worried about the apparent reference to 'dog restaurants' in an Enya song I heard a lot when I was about 10 yo....

@Bobbyflay

It’s Marconi plays the mamba

I thought it was "While Tony plays labamba"

Did Toploader get it on most every night, or get it almost every night?

Former sounds better, but I'm worried it's actually the latter.

Madonna was defo singing about a level crossing.

Similarly, the boys of the NYPD cross the city (the boys of the NYPD choir still singing), in Fairytale of New York.

Desmond Dekker was telling us that “the hills are alive”, for sure.

Bananarama were actually guilty as a glockenspiel, which is a very badly-behaved musical instrument.

My DH sang... “ooh I think that I’ve found myself a chilli bear” (cheerleader). I asked if he thought that made sense, he said no but lots of songs don’t make sense these days. Bless. He’s not even old, he was only 32 then.

I also clicked on this thinking George had planned some weird wanking thing and it wasn't true. 😂😂🤣

No no no, Bananarama were guilty as a drunken bee. Everyone knows that!

Can I just say, again, I WAS A CHILD and not a fully grown filthy pervert like all you lot

I think I thought he meant he would be standing in a golden spotlight, like on Top of the Pops or something, but didn't want to be.

That sounds so lame, reading it back

Song from the 70's

Get up in the morning, slaving for bread, sir
So that every mouth can be fed
Oh Oh me ears are alight

Apparently its ooh oh the israelites

I refuse to believe the Feeder lyric is 'Drink cider from a lemon' and not 'Drink cider from eleven'.
The preceding lyric is 'Get a house in Devon' ffs! It even rhymes!

I used to think You’re So Vain went “wife of the postman, wife of the postman”

I watched a rather drunken female colleague one night, pointing to a male colleague whilst singing along at the top of her voice,

"I would do anything for love, but I won't do you. No no, I won't do you"

🤣

The Feeder one has BLOWN my mind!

Drink Cider from a lemon sounds like a poetic way to say something is Bittersweet

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.)

"Last night a bidet saved my life"

Yes yes yes that’s the Desmond Dekker song, but THE HILLS ARE ALIVE. Or at least they were when we woz kids and Dad had it on the tape player in the car.

he's not bonking a postman's wife? I had a Google. It sounds nothing like close friend!

I remember hearing a child in a reception class years ago singing about Miss Muffet eating her curtains away

Mind blown again! I too thought this up until 2 min ago . Is he actually shagging the "wife of a close friend "?

Yes, it's with the wife of a close friend.

I'm afraid you're all wrong about Bananarama. I'm guilty as a common thief.

Always thought it was rather archaic/pompous language for a pop song

zemblanity up until I saw your post I thought it was ‘they’re golden dreeeeeams’!
