Can’t believe these lyrics I heard on Radio 1

[MangetoutsaysGetOutMan]

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.

I didn’t say it rhymed with “planet” I said it was like a planet.

This is hilarious 😂

Oh another one I misheard was Rockin around the Christmas Tree’s “Later we'll have some pumpkin pie” as “later we’ll have some fucking pie” as I’d never heard of pumpkin pie before 🫣

Uranus

God almighty, the OP is like a mensa test. Well I failed. I have never managed to do those cryptic crosswords either. This is why, I fail to associate unmentionable planets with bum holes.

You said it sounds like a planet. I thought you meant it rhymes.

You dont talk like this in real life do you OP?

Do you do that Les Dawson Cissy and Aida thing where you mouth everything?

That one sentence had me choking, tears the lot! Too funny 🤣🤣🤣🤣

This is how I think of Aitch,
Paul Whitehouse doing Brilliant Kid from the Fast Show

You said it sounds like a planet. I thought you meant it rhymes.

You dont talk like this in real life do you OP?

I’m not sure how you’re flipping it on OP when your first two sentences literally say that you misinterpreted what was written in front of you. OP said A (sounds like a planet) and most of us understood what they said with no issues. Yes the lyric was wrong but you’re also wrong here.

This is like saying, ‘you said it looks like a dog. I thought you meant a cat.’ You can’t just change what’s been written in front of you😂 since when was saying something sounds like something, means that it rhymes. Those are two completely different things…

I thought the clue was a + a planet = a + mars = arse.

I got to the same word (ish) in a different way! 😛

I meant the fact that OP cant really say the things she is talking about. Not whether something sounds like/is like/isnt like/rhymes with

She doesnt even write the word sex.

You've gone off on a complete tangent

Come On Eileen isn't rape-based, but it just comes across as a bit coercive really. The lyrics are a bloke going on a bit without accepting that she said no. But the video doesn't really give that vibe tbh - IIRC it plays out as a couple that have broken up and he's trying to get her back, and gradually she seems more interested before they get back together at the end.

I mean, it wouldn't be made today but I don't think it's terrible. Certainly not worth avoiding the song for.

Apparently it's actually supposed to be representative of Catholicism and lust but that's definitely not obvious.

I also think that it's really easy to apply modern standards to old songs, films etc and find that they don't really fit with what we expect today. I think that unless something is genuinely awful, it's OK to accept that it was representative of its time, and to continue enjoying it.

I thought op meant ‘arse’ (sounds like Mars)

😂

There's a comedian that has a whole FB page dedicated to misheard song lyrics. Some of them are really funny.

This one was all about Carmina Burana (the Old Spice ad music) and made me laugh.

Purple haze, all in my brain
Lately things, they don't seem the same
Acting funny, but I don't know why
'Scuse me while I kiss the sky

So many people misheard this lyric that Jimi Hendrix actually started singing the alternative in live performances:
Acting funny, but I don't know why
'Scuse me while I kiss this guy

I went to a disco.
They played the Macarena, I did the Macarena.
They played the Twist, I did the twist.
They played Come On Eileen, and I got kicked out!

The late, great Dave Allen told a story about the first funeral he attended, when the coffin was being lowered into the grave, he thought the priest said:

In the name of the father, the son, and into the hole he goes

Come on op. You should be proud to have given us all a laugh today.

For years I believed the first line of Summer of 69 was “I got my first real sex dream” which still makes sense. “Played it till my fingers bled” took on a slightly grosser meaning! My DP thought it hilarious when he overheard me singing this. Google tells me I’m certainly not alone

Love these mondegreens (and the story of why they're called that from a misheard Scottish poem with the line 'Laid him on the green' becoming 'Lady Mondegreen').

I always heard Rufus and Chaka Khan's 'Ain't no body loves me better' as 'Ain't no body loves detectives'

ABBA's lesser known 'Treat Him Well He is Your Brother' was, to my sister and me, 'Thieving Willy Is Your Brother' (the Scandinavian pronunciation does suggest our interpretation)...

Me: Anlet??? A-planet?? Aplanet

I thought the song Brown Eyed Girl started with the line
Hey there amigos.

Did you turn Radio 1 off and put some other music on, or did you all do the rest of the journey in silence?

Lizzo's Good As Hell.
I do my hair toss, check my nails.
I thought it was, I take my hair down, check for nits.
