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.

Old person here, never heard of this guy Aitch but so pleased it finally might give me ammunition to stop my teens calling the 8th letter of the alphabet 'haitch'.....😂!

(I know it's regional but we are south west, it only takes one teacher!! Grrrr)

Love this thread.

Years ago we were in the car when they said on the radio that up next was St Elmo’s Fire, I said to my husband that I’d never heard that song before. Turns out the song I’d been belting out “Set them on fiiireya” was actually St Elmo’s Fire. Who knew 🤷‍♀️

What with OP and now this, this thread's got me proper cackling 😂🤣

The runtering post is so funny I nearly fell off the sofa laughing. And I genuinely thought the lyric in Golden Brown was Manshiro. I just thought it was a creative making up of a word.

I heard this on Radio 2 recently, and also thought it was anus! I was also surprised at them playing it, so you're not the only one. 😂

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

Eh?! Doesn't it?!
What is it then lol

RueTroussevache · 16/05/2024 23:00

"Oooooooôoo, better watch out for the string beans....."

EnglishBluebell · 16/05/2024 23:01

@AlltheFs You can say anus. You can’t say Fuck me in the arse.

There's a sentence I bet you didn't expect to be typing this evening

Years ago my friend was singing along to a song....
'Shake your P45'

It's was actually 'Shake your B O D Y'

She had form for getting things wrong. Once said in a pub quiz that Louis Armstrong was the first man on the moon.

Omg 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 P45 has me absolutely howling! I've just woken up DC

Thank you, Frances.

You anus alone as before now! Now you're no longer the butt of the joke. Google helps in assertaining lyrics

@IDroveAllNightAndCrappedInYourRoomIsThatAlright I have to ask - what the bejesus is your username all about?!?!?!

Mirabai · 16/05/2024 23:20

“Oops upside your head” I thought was “Oops up slide your hands”.

I think mine’s better.

It was this exchange that got a laugh out of me.

Also, I think the confusion with OP is because she said, “maybe your a* (sounds like a planet.” She should have dropped “your” and just said it sounds like a planet at that point, so we’d have “maybe Uranus,” because instead, it’s “maybe your a+uranus.”

Or she could have just said anus. As one does.

This reminds me of the first time The X files was on. Dana Scully said '...something something Fox..' and my mum leaped up to turn it off, appalled about "disgusting language on television". We said "But he's called FOX, what did you think she said?"
(FWIW mum was quite strident about not having any 'bad language' in the house, so that made it about 10x funnier)

Another example of hearing something wrongly and going on a rant about it was a woman turning on the radio to hear the presenter saying "tits like coconuts", she turned off and complained to the broadcaster only to be told it was a nature programme giving info about the favourite foods of birds. They also like bacon rind, apple and seeds etc!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you for all these messages, I haven't laughed out loud so much for ages. My favourite was the Average White Band - Play that fucking music white boy. Absolutely hilarious.

Assuming it’s from the lyric ‘I drove all night & crept in your room, is that alright’

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

I've always thought that! What is it then?

A friend attended her DC’s assembly in year 1 to find the class singing along to So horny, horny horny horny!
Parents all looking at each other in shock…
It transpired that the teacher thought the lyrics were So honey, honey honey hony 😬
