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.

Baby, you’re A list not bloody ANUS!!!

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

Enunciation is everything 😂

He had no idea why a woman should be singing soulfully about Street- light

Brother was maybe 4 but still remembers - as do we.

How can “ A list “ sound like anus?
Unless someone pronounces it as “Ayniss?”

MermaidEyes · 16/05/2024 14:00

This reminds me of that advert years ago for learning English where the foreign family get in the car and the radio starts playing 'I want to fuck you in the ass' and they're all nodding along and smiling happily totally unaware 🤣

In fairness H has the strangest mangled up voice, he sounds like he is swallowing his words up his nose and choking on them.

There's some Ed Sheeran song with the lyric "wonder if I could sneak out the back" and something about the way he delivers it always makes it sound like "wonder if fuck it sneak out the back" to me.

Runningbird43 · 16/05/2024 12:02

Me too! Then going through all the planets trying to figure out which one rhymes.

Anus doesn’t rhyme with any planet 😂

Ur anus

Well THAT’s hilarious! You do know that radio versions PARTICULARLY on BBC stations all either swap out a rude word for a clean version or drop the rude word entirely???

Never worked for Frankie Goes to Hollywood and Relax. Well I think it was Frankie but I'm never 100% on bands and songs

Chris Moyles used to play Star Girl every Friday morning on the Radio 1 breakfast show.

A few years ago now i was a bit puzzled about what runtering was. Brian sounded very determined it should happen ...

Brian Adams.
I'm Gonna Runter You

😳

🤣🤣🤣🤣

IDroveAllNightAndCrappedInYourRoomIsThatAlright · 16/05/2024 14:07

The song is about Aitch wanting a famous girlfriend

Ah, so definitely not the guy from Steps, then!

Is there not a union for pop singers with the equivalent of
Equity rules for actors, so that if somebody has already got your name, you have to use a different one?

The man from Steps already has H; the bloke from Jamiroquai
already has JK... but afaik 'I' is still available if this new chap wants it?

I love misheard lyrics - they're always guaranteed to entertanus!

Oh this has really made me chuckle 😂😂

I’m only here to ask which anus the OP is on…

no seriously - aside from the fact that you can type anus on here - it’s not even a swear word, though those are allowed too - I need to know in what dialect you can rhyme anus and planet!!!! 🤪

'Sounds like a planet' has tickled me. JUST SAY THE WORD!

I can only think of 'gannet', are they ornithologists?

Marvellous username. I'll never be able to hear Cyndi or Roy sing that again without thinking of you!

My absolute favourite misheard lyric by Rihanna:

Wow, that's the Green Needle/Brainstorm thing all over again.

There's an eminent folk singer - who is genuinely an amazing, matchless songwriter - who sings a bit like that.

I won't name him, though, as he has very easily-angered loyal fans who will insist that his voice is actually like those of Matt Monro, Roy Orbison and Freddie Mercury rolled into one, only three times as good!

Pedallleur · 16/05/2024 14:19

Let us remember that when Lou reed sings Walk On The Wild Side there is the verse about Candy who in the back room was everybody's darlin'. But she never lost her head even when she was giving head.

Been playing it on the on the radio since 1972

What?! Is it not?! 😳

He is talking italian, she says it again more slowly after the main line. It's apparently because she sees him in the Godfather where he is talking Italian.

Oh, that's brilliant.

Mine is Jason Derulo, Want To Want Me. It starts off, "It's too hard to sleep, I got the sheets on the floor..." Except the way he says"sheets" really sounds like "shits." So every time that song starts on the radio, I hear: "It's too hard to sleep, I got the shits..." and I do a double take. Like WTF, Radio 1?! I don't need to hear about this guy's digestive disturbances...

I'm pretty sure I've posted this before, but I was horrified aged about 9 or 10 when I heard Shania Twain sing I can't believe you kiss your cock at night in That Don't Impress Me Much.

It's 'I can't believe you kiss your car good night'... But somehow my version made logical sense with the rest of the lyrics being about a bloke that totally loves himself Grin

samarrange · 16/05/2024 14:22

The word in the lyric is "A-list" because it rhymes a couple of bars later with "playlist".

However, the song continues like this. So the OP might be correct to think that this particular artist's oeuvre may not have be as easy on sensitive ears as that of, say, Burt Bacharach and Hal David.

Hit me with a WAP I know that pussy is damaging
Now I can’t feel my muscles like I’m popping a Valium
Just gimme the mic and let me rip it I’m nice
Sing Jorga a song and then I’ll kiss her goodnight
Wrist full up with Ice now I’m just missing a Spice
I know Snoochie got cake I’m tryna get me a slice
Fly LAX for Ella Mai a little getaway
With my dirty arse she’ll probably hit me with some pepper spray

On another misheard lyrics thread a poster misheard Bryan Adams " I got my first real six string "
As " I got my first real.sex dream"!

he has said the song may not be about the Summer of 1969 but a Summer of 69 (the sexual position/preference for many).
