A lot of people get this one but Golden brown. For years I thought it was "Lays me down, with my mancheerons". And thought what the fuck is a mancheeron?!

Hes singing "lays me down, with my mind, she runs" 🙄

Loads but I’d have to name change as I tell my friends my misheard lyrics! A couple of my more anonymous ones:

Katrina and the Waves, Walking on Sunshine: “'Cause I just can't wait till you ride me, you're coming around”

Shania Twain, That Don’t Impress Me Much:
”I cant believe you kiss your cock at night.”

I did the Shania one too @JellyIegs and I was about 10 when it came out, all innocent but still knowing what it meant so I was horrified they allowed it on the radio Grin

the other one was Alanis morrissette you oughta know - instead of the cross I bear that you gave to me, I thought it was cross eyed bear. I thought it was some weird cuddly toy her ex had given her!

Cross-eyed bear 😂 I’ll have to listen for that.

As a child I thought Madonna had a song called Poppadom Bridge (= Papa Don't Preach)

HoneyWogan · 06/03/2024 20:14

Herman's Hermits - She's A Must To Avoid: always sounds like "she's a muscular boy". Also their song Two Silhouettes: "let me in or else I'll beat down your door" - it sounds much more like 'wee' rather than 'beat'!

Four Seasons - Let's Hang On: apparently, the lyrics are "give me a second turning" but Frankie V very clearly sings "give me a feckin' turnip"!

I always heard 'everybody needs a bosom for a pillow'
as
'everybody needs a bosom, armadillo'

You picked a fine time to leave me Lucille. Four hundred children and a dog with no wheels.
Cracks me up every time .....

I always mis hear 'bright young women, sick of swimming..' from The Little Mermaids part of your world as 'pregnant women sick of swimming'.

I thought Taylor Swift was singing about "Starbucks lovers" in Blank Space.

And I'm also a member of the 'tromboleeze' club...!

Roy Orbison: "I drove all night, and crapped in your room... is that alright?"

Lay a Wispa** on my pillow (must have been love)
Might as well face it you're as thick as you look (addicted to love)
Santa baby, stick a saber under the tree for me
Love lift us up where we belong, where the eagles fry on a mountain high
