Judy mentioned a song by Manfred Man, Pretty Flamingo in the 'Soppy' thread, and it brought back this memory ......

Oh Pretty Flamingo!!! I never knew the title to the song and up until about 5 years ago always sang the words 'where did the wind go'![]()

Was only when someone saw me singing along to it when out one night that I found out ..... but not before he had picked himself off the floor laughing and finished telling the rest of the pub![]()

Another time I burst into song was a romantic day in bed with an ex. Macy Gray was in the charts and was singing along to the song 'I Try' .....
I try to say goodbye and I choke
I try to walk away and I stumble
Though I try to hide it it's clear
I walk cobbles when you are not near
(should be My world crumbles when you are not near)
Really bugs me when people burst into hysterical laughter and can't tell me what they're laughing at for ages :confused:
I just thank heavens I realised Barry White wasn't singing about Garlic sauce before anyone picked up on it :shock:
my first, my last, my everything
and the answer to all my dreams
you're my sun, my moon, my garlic sauce (s/b guiding star! :shock: )
my kind of wonderful, that's what you are
The above 3 songs are an easy mistake to make ..... aren't they
These are just a couple off the top of my head, there are probably hundreds more, and even more than that which I am still unaware I'm singing wrong
So, is there anyone else who has convinced themselves that the original singer has got the words wrong? And what songs are they?
MissChief - really hoping shes not the only one :shock:
