Can’t believe these lyrics I heard on Radio 1

I was listening to Radio 1 with children in the car and I had to turn it off.

Attracted to your status, maybe your a* (sounds like a planet)

Who is this H? I’m surprised the BBC let it through.

Ive got to page 2 and Im none the wiser

OP, am I to understand that you thought some song lyrics used the word anus?

But when you wrote your OP you wrote it as a* and said it rhymed with planet?

In what world does anus rhyme with planet?

Or have I misunderstood completely?

Someone I knew thought Robert DeNiro was waiting, talking Italian 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Is it not "talking Italian" 😳

samarrange · 16/05/2024 19:39

A friend of mine was convinced that the line "My feet is my only carriage" (from No Woman No Cry) was in fact "My fear is my only courage", which would make a fabulous book title, or perhaps social media bio strapline.

I always thought one of the lines from Super Trooper was "When I saw you last night in Tescos"

Fuck My Bum this thread is hilarious!!!!

About a hundred years ago I was singing a cheery pop ditty from a band called Herman's Hermits. My mother overheard and said 'what are you singing?'
I confidently sang the chorus to her again - 'She's a muscular boy'.

😂😂This so made me laugh

and especially because the next line is - 'a complete impossibility'

.........once upon a time this would have made perfect sense as a pop lyric 😂

Nowadays ............ you'd be arrested for hateful speech 👀👀😂😂

She means the planet Uranus, but in being so coy she has caused far more confusion!

I was convinced for years that Randy Crawford was singing to a lamp post.
'Street light! Street light!'

I’m so glad I wasn’t the only one. Honestly I’m always mishearing lyrics.

There’s a Vampire Weekend song called Horchata and I was convinced they were saying “In December, drinking hot chowder…”. My husband was wetting himself when he heard me singing along and reminded me the song is called Horchata so how could I get the lyrics wrong 😑🫣🤣

Beatrixslobber · 16/05/2024 20:00

I really hope that radio 1 get to see this thread. Tomorrow will be fun 😂

I haven’t heard the song but I think I would like it. I’m partial to a bit of anal swearing.

Planesmistakenforstars · 16/05/2024 20:01

I'm pondering whether anyone in the entire world would actually go "hmm, yeah, I'm really attracted to your anus" as if it's a normal and successful wooing technique.

You haven't used tinder? This would be on the more sophisticated end of the spectrum for men on there.

lol at this thread 🤣 love misheard lyrics.

I still rib my dh for thinking it was ‘Robert DeNiro’s waiting… Talking to Tanya’ in that Bananarama track!

This is hilarious, I can’t stop singing it. ‘Robert De Niro’s waiting, talking to Tanyaaaaa’ 🤣🤣🤣 why would that even be part of the lyrics!? So funny.

Reminds me of the time someone said to me they thought ‘Feliz Navidad’ was saying ‘The police nabbed me Dad’

Yep I agree. I know it’s sheets, but it sounds like shits, and he’s got a temperature so he can’t sleep. Amazing that he can think about his girlfriend while feeling so dreadful with diarrhoea on the floor.

I love this song...and your ruining it 😄

Tillievanilly · 16/05/2024 20:14

🤣🤣 this is the sort of thing I would think but would be singing the wrong words for years!!

LoreleiG · 16/05/2024 20:15

Oh dear, I must be getting old. I read the first two pages of this thread thinking:

  1. H from Steps is singing about anuses? (Ani?)
  2. Anus doesn’t rhyme with planet.

A friend heard 'Come on Eileen' for the first time in early 2021, and thought it was about the key preoccupation of that time: 'Covid 19'.

Another friend, as a child, thought that the song line 'You don't have to say you love me; just be close at hand' was 'You don't have to say I'm lovely, just because I am!' I still prefer her version.

As a teenager, I thought that the chorus of Mud's 'Tiger Feet'

'Alright, that's right, that's right, that's right
That's right, I really love your tiger light
And that's neat, that's neat, that's neat, that's neat
I really love your tiger feet, I really love your tiger feet'

was

'Alright, that's right, that's right, that's right
That's right, I know your dire life.
And not me, not me, not me, not me,
I know your diary, I know your diary'

which I interpreted as meaning that her diary was full of dates with other men.

I thought this too until now 😂

I confidently sang the chorus to her again - 'She's a muscular boy'.
Mother - 'I think you'll find it's "she's a must to avoid".

The tables were turned decades later when I caught her warbling away to Bohemian Rhapsody, 'spare him his life from his Walls sausages'. (Walls was a company that made sausages, maybe they still do.)

That is bloody hilarious 🤣🤣🤣

AuntieAntik · 16/05/2024 20:22

I had a bloke who thought that the lyrics were 'Play the fuckin' music white boy'. He was outraged!!!
