Men at work... 'down under'
my version: "He just smiled and gave me a bit of my sandwich..."
Real version: "Buying bread from a man in brussels
He was six foot four and full of muscles
I said, do you speak-a my language?
He just smiled and gave me a vegemite sandwich
And he said...."
:shock:
:sleeping: I know.. but you try singing that wrong version out loud in front of people and seeing their reactions...

Get on board, Get on board,
Get on board with the Double Deckers
Take a chicken, or a turkey
get on board on the double decker bus
Found out 20 years later, it's "take a ticket for your journey" :shock:

When I was a lad I heard my mates mum singing this whilst washing the pots:
Rollicking Times, oh mist rolling in from the sea!! (instead of Mull of Kintyre!) confused

I also thought that Police were singing:

A year has passed since I broke my nose
I should have blown it right from the start!! :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: lol

Manfred Mann's Earth Band
Blinded by the light
I thought they were singing
Wrapped up like a douche, another rumble in the night!
They actually sang
Revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night....I think lol

This is a really common one. I'm not the only person to have misheard the lyrics. Macy Gray -
try to say goodbye and I choke
Try to walk away and I stumble
Though I try to hide it, its clear
I wear goggles when you are not here
Should be - My world crumbles when you are not here

No 2. child used to singalong to Britney's "hit me baby.."
Her version was "My only vest, is killing me"
Instead of "My loneliness, is killing me" lol

However.....I got into a tangle with a misheard song title one night.....
Post coitus, cosied up & talking bollox, for some reason we started talking about things with the word "Constant" in them;
Me "The Constant Gardener"
Him "Constantinople"
Me "Constant Craving"
Him (after a brief pause) "Constant Gravy"
Me "Constant Gravy? WTF?"
Him "I dunno"
Me "Why did you say it then?"
Him "I didn't say it- you did"
Me "No I didn't- you just said it"
Etc Etc.....for what seemed like a lifetime, until.... :idea: It struck me, finally that he'd misheard my "Constant Craving" rolleyes

thanks to the effects of years of firing cannons banghead

See, proof that one night with me is enough to drive anyone loon

Oh me too.....
Years ago I thought OOps upside your head by the Gap Band said "Boots on saturday, I said Boots on saturday!---I was young :doh:
And that Macy grey song all ready reffered to..
I used to think she sang "I pull coppers when you are not here" or I pour cuppas when you are not here" THEN.......... I was told it was "I walk upwards when you are not here"... So Ive only just learned about the 'crumble' bit hahaha
But the best yet is the words I sing when Im karaoking to 'Im a believer'
"Then I saw her face,,, she looked like a beaver,
Not a trace, of doubt in my mind... Am I in love? Nooooooooo, she looked like a beaver or a golden retriever , couldn't make up my mind"
Hope you enjoyed :grin:
Love The minx :rascal: xx
