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've read them for you and I think it's really quite the reach to say they are rapey. They are full of longing and a bit of frustration and despair. Nothing like blurred lines.

Thank you for your validation. There are threads on here about the rise in anl sx on girls as a standard part of sx which is why I took it at face value
LOL There is no validation.
So I didn’t mishear, he did it on purpose?
No. You definitely misheard
You didn't think to google the lyrics before you started a thread on MN?

How on earth has the OP failed to laugh at themselves for this epic hilarious blunder!!??

I can still remember my interpretation if the chorus, aged three, of the first song I remember hearing on a fuzzy medium wave radio, Night Fever.

Once in an onsee-on
We know how to share it!

Then a couple of years later, Super Trouper

...like I always do
'Cause summer in a God bless you

And DD1's rendition of Mamma Mia, at a similar age.

Mamma mia, does it show again
My my, populary sister

"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."

My son was deeply offended when he heard that on the radio and through that was the lyrics. He would have been about 10 and was aware what swearing was. Full hands on the hips and saying they are saying a bad word! On the radio!

He was so indignant I couldn't stop laughing

This has made me proper laugh, I can just imagine the WTF faces

On holiday, our kids were in a show put together by the kids club staff. There was a dance to Cake by the Ocean, the staff were not native English speakers, the NON radio edit of that song includes the lines ‘let’s lose our minds and go fucking crazy’, and result was parents looking a bit taken aback.

When I mentioned it to the kids club people, they found it hilarious (as did I to be honest) and they showed me the advert already shared about English lessons.

My Brother thought the old 1970’s song “Street Life” was “Street light “

Wait, it isn't?!

My son loved Toy Story and used to sing you've got a friend in meat (which isn't too far off describing his diet in fairness).

I don't know why but my mind always thinks Ed Sheeran is going to sing one friend left to sell dope rather than clothes in Castle on the Hill. It's also my phone ring tone (tragic I know) so I really should try to stop it.

My daughters interpretation of lizzo Good as hell

i do my hair toss, check my nits 😂

we all sing that version now

Don't be so hard-on OP, it was an analmalous situation. Usually she's more asstute in assertaining beforehand

It's the refusal to laugh and back down which is making it more funny.

I disagree. If the artist has form for writing perverted lyrics then he will have carefully chosen seemingly harmless lyrics which are in fact homophones so yes he might like her A List but he knows we will mishear it as an*s and that is his point.

A list is not a homophone for anus 😂 just admit you got it wrong.

But as he has no fear generally of using ‘perverted’ lyrics, surely if he means anus in this case he’d just say anus?
Why can’t you just write anus? It’s not a swear word. It’s a body part.
I’m starting to think this whole thread is a wind up 😂

It is hilarious. Op is like a character from a Carry On film.

OP, do you realise that thousands of songs, by mainstream artists over decades, have ‘seemingly harmless lyrics’ that are actually utter filth?

perverted lyrics 😆😆

You'd have been great in the Mary Whitehouse era.

I listen to Radio 1 all the time and have heard this song many, many times. Not once have I heard "anus".

Herman's Hermits also had another song (Two Silhouettes) with the (already rather disturbing) lyrics Let me in, or else I'll beat down your door - but instead of 'beat', it really does sound like he's singing 'wee'!

I know, it's a nightmare. Anus here, anus there, anus everywhere.

A List. Playlist. Heinous. Buenos. Greyness.

Famous Ignoramous, a bit like that little pervert Aitch.

Ew.

Oh OP. You're a great leader of the anus obsessed brigade.

And singing about 'making love with Claude Greengrass' - the grizzly old bloke from Heartbeat!

It's a reference to another 'misheard lyric' in the song by Roy Orbison or Cyndi Lauper!

I did a double take recently when my kids were watching youtube and the new lucozade advert was on (the one where they are playing basketball). I was horrified the rap was saying "f off f off" and it turned out it was "rock off"!

Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds - The girl with colitis goes by

I always mistook the word 'parking' from Alright Now by Free - as in Let's move before they raise the parking rate - for another word, and was amazed that they so happily played it on daytime radio.

Also, listen here from 1:58 - Frankie Valli clearly singing "Give me a feckin' turnip!"
