Does anyone else love it when....

They finally figure out the words to a song they couldn't quite understand for years?

I was singing along to Beyoncé, Irreplaceable on the radio on the school run and always sing it wrong. Quick google and honestly feel like my day was better for it now I know the actual words

*should say you not then

*they even 😂

I have to admit I like it now that on steaming apps like Apple music and Spotify, they have the lyrics! Mind blowing.

I feel like there was a dark decade when CDs died out and I couldn't read the lyrics on the album cover/booklet anymore showing my age here

Yes me too! I use Apple Music and although it doesn't work with all my songs for some reason, I quite enjoy listening to songs and reading the lyrics just so I know I'm singing it right!

I love it more when I hear other people getting lyrics spectacularly wrong.

My friend used to think that ‘Venus’ by Bananarama was “Ahhh, my penis - it’s on fire with pure desire”

My friend thought that the lyrics in the Macy Gray song I Try, were 'I wear goggles when you are not here'.

(My world crumbles when you are not here.)

I though Karma Chameleon was

Become a chameleon

Which I maintain makes sense.

Take that
All I do is shite and pray

There's a line in Don't You Want Me, before 'and then you change your mind' that I would have to mumble for decades.

I finally looked it up the other day, it's so obvious when you know it.

This reminds me that the only line I understand in Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough by Michael Jackson is when he sings the title. The song wouldn't be the same to me if I actually looked up the lyrics!

@APJ1 Ha! yes, I always sing along to this but you're right, I don't know any of the words

@APJ1 that’s my DH’s favourite nonsense lyric! He reckons it’s either “keep up with the pornstar”, or “keep on with the fosters”

This reminds me that the only line I understand in Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough by Michael Jackson is when he sings the title.

Keep on at the Post Office,
Don't stop 'til you get enough.

You probably know the Peter Kay routine about misheard song lyrics. Duffy beggin' you for birdseed, etc.

[/quote] The one that started it all! I saw him do this on his tour, he's absolutely spot on!

There's a line in Slipknot's Duality that I was convinced was Jesus of Nazareth. Apparently its Jesus it never ends. I still sing Jesus of Nazareth

But you probably don't remember the Maxell cassette adverts from around 1980
