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.

mingetoo - sorry Mangetout is embarrassed because of what she thinks the mistake says about her but I too think she should get over it (this is not a double entendre).

I really am not.

"Exodus, move you funky people" is what I always heard (not "Exodus, movement of Jah people").

Also, I thought UB40 were singing "I'm a prima donna.."

I had to check what they were saying as I thought they were saying "I've a real Madonna" which thinking about it made little sense. But neither does Ivory Madonna which is apparently what they say.

My misheard lyric was in Golden Brown where I thought he said "Lays me down with my Manshiro". I had no idea what a Manshiro was but thought it was something Mexican perhaps - a hat, sword or senorita? Apparently it's actually "with my mind she runs". When I was discussing this with friends, it seems a lot agreed with me!

So I didn’t mishear, he did it on purpose?

You did mishear. He hints towards anAL sEx at times but not here!

Clearly "I'm a Prima Donna". No other interpretation acceptable.

Me too with the UB40.

I also thought that Chaka Khan was singing, “Climb every woman.”

@useruserna thats a good point - what are the UB40 lyrics, I’ve never known , and I can’t google as I don’t know the title.

Ivory Madonna. It’s Food for Thought.

What's wrong with saying anus

It's not a swear word

BlowDryRat · 16/05/2024 18:11

Many years ago, I had a good rant about how wrong it was to have song lyrics making fun of people with Tourette syndrome. My friend listened to my rant, then gently pointed out that the song and lyrics were "I predict a riot", rather that "I've got Tourettes".

I thought he really liked cheese and it was lay me down with my manchego 🤣🤣

HopeSpringsInfernal · 16/05/2024 18:13

For years I thought that ABBA were singing
'Take me to the doctors'
In Gimme Gimme Gimme

I remember the good old days when ‘The Bad Touch’ by the Bloodhound Gang came out

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)

PaintMyDoor · 16/05/2024 18:22

I heard this Aitch track on the radio coming home from work today, it’s gone from a mildly annoying song sung by a filthy pipsqueak to something that’s made me smile. Thanks OP 😊

Newname71 · 16/05/2024 18:23

AlltheFs · 16/05/2024 11:27

They really wouldn’t. Veiled references within the genre are within the Ofcom code. Overt sexual references aren’t.

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

Just nearly choked on a Pringle! 😂😂

Newname71 · 16/05/2024 18:25

Coaltodiamonds · 16/05/2024 11:54

Well I just googled Aitch as I'd never heard of him and I definitely would not be letting him put anything up my bum for sure! Robert de Niro on the other hand.....

😂😂😂

I'm surprised no one's mentioned the trombolese yet. 😅 One of my favourite mondegreens.

fretaway · 16/05/2024 18:58

This has got to be a wind up.

However ever thankful for this thread as I’ve now discovered a new verb - to runter you!

turbonerd · 16/05/2024 19:08

NosyJosie · 16/05/2024 15:07

Come on Eileen, Blurred Lines, and other rape themed songs are all over the place.

I feel like a lot of songs are pushed onto artists and they didn’t write them.

My all time misheard line remains “Just let me staple the vicar” in We Are Family

Oh no, I have avoided listening to the lyrics in Come On Eileen because I didn’t want to know.
Crap.

Vitriolinsanity · 16/05/2024 19:11

I thought you were all referring to that H from Steps.

Rude little sausage these days, I thought.

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

😳

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

FuzzyCaoraDhubh · 16/05/2024 19:27

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

I thought it was just me - wondered what a trombolisk was for years!
