The gorgeous Miranda has started compiling a list of song lyrics that have been slightly misheard. I still remember the humiliation of finding myself singing along to all the wrong words in front of friends…..
My favourites from her list is:-
“The Ants are my friends and it’s blowing in the wind” (Bob Dylan “The Answer my friend”)
“You might as well face it your a dick in a glove (Robert Palmer – “Addicted To Love”)
“Lets pee in the corner, lets pee in the spotlight” (REM)
I have two more to add:-
“Away in a manger, no crisps in the bed”
“Israeli Men, Hallelujah!” (for “It’s Raining Men”)
Hilarious.
Got any more?

September 23, 2009My son loves Lady Gaga's PokerFace and the chorus goes: "She can't read, she can't read, she can't read my poker face."
He thinks its: "cherry pie, cherry pie, cherry pie, poker face."
I think his is better! x

September 23, 2009My friend's mum used to sing
"In and out the dustbin windows" instead of "In and out the dusty bluebells". Obvious, eh?

Laura - Are We Nearly There Yet Mummy?
September 23, 2009I always get lyrics wrong, then years down the line my husband will sing something and I will roll about laughing thinking 'I can't believe I thought it was that'.
However … because I'm crap at remembering lyrics at all I have none to share

September 23, 2009I contributed this to Miranda's list:
"It's a hard egg
Nothing but a hard egg"
Bonnie Tyler's "It's a heartache"
Bare Naked Mummy
September 23, 2009I once asked for "She sells sandwiches" by the cult at a party when I was in my teens (instead of "She sells Sanctuary".
My old boss used to sing "Rhythm is a wa*&er"" instead of "Rhythm is a dancer"
And finally my mum used to sing "Icky Bicy Heart…lala Fart", instead of "Achy Breaky Heart".

September 23, 2009Haha! Same as sticky fingers, I honestly thought Lady Gagas 'pokerface' was 'cherry pie' as well. I had an argument in the car with OH about it once! Until I checked the lyrics on line…oops. Nowhere near as funny as 'Lets pee in the corner….'
