Guest Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 I was introducing the kids to Jimi Hendrix this morninmg via Purple Haze.. anyway - I decided to point out the famous mishearing of the lyrics.. "Scuse me while I kiss the sky" misheard as.. "Scuse me while I kiss this guy" anyway - got me thinking - are there any pop lyrics that you have embarassingly misheard and sung to your friends as if they were the real thing?? I'll start... The Walrus - great song by the beatles...(perhaps the greatest Beatles song!) I wasn't the only one to hear this: grab a block of fish my pornographic princess when it should have been this: crab-a-locker fishwife/pornographic priestess was I??

Mrs Frugal Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 Ollie did a classic a few years ago.. "I have to praise you like a shoe" What he should have been singing was "I have to praise you like I should" from Fatboy Slim's Praise You ! I've done loads of these myself but not as funny as that. I used to think that we sang "I am the Lord of the dance settee" when I was at school though . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dogmother Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 'I sellotape my glove to you' Should've been 'I celebrate my love for you', but once I'd got the wrong version in my head, I was doomed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dogmother Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 Who he? wasn't that line followed by something like 'and the midnight sun's gonna come shining through'?

The Dogmother Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 Found the lyrics I was looking for TONIGHT I CELEBRATE MY LOVE (Peabo Bryson and Roberta Flack) Tonight I celebrate my love for you It seems the natural thing to do Tonight no one's gonna find us We'll leave the world behind us When I make love to you Tonight I celebrate my love for you And hope that deep inside you feel it too Tonight our spirits will be climbing To the sky lit up with diamonds When I make love to you tonight Tonight I celebrate my love for you (ooh) And that midnight song is gonna come shining through Tonight there'll be no distance between us What I want most to do Is to get close to you tonight Tonight I celebrate my love for you And soon this old world will seem brand new Tonight we will both discover How friends turn into lovers When I make love to you Tonight I celebrate my love for you (ooh) And that midnight song is gonna come shining through Tonight there'll be no distance between us What I want most to do Is to get close to you Tonight I celebrate my love for you Can't get the blasted song out of my head now *scowls* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 Lucy in the sky with diamonds - for " the girl with kaleidoscope eyes" I heard "the girl with colitis goes by" and of coures for oldies like me there is the classic "the hands that judicious" instead of "the hands that do dishes" in the Fairy Liquid advert. Very non PC by today's standards as it hints that women do the washing up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard T Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 Kate's link to the ad doesn't work on my office PC so forgive me if this is on there, but on "The Israelites" Desmond Decker also sang, "Get up in the morning, baked beans for breakfast." ("Get up in the morning, slaving for bread, sir") As for "To Celebrate My Love", to get the full points, under the Sir Jimmy Saville scoring system, you need to have said that it was by Peabo Bryson (feat. Roberta Flack). Roberta Flack is still alive and is 69 years old. Did you realise that The Fugees covered "Killing Me Softly ..." in 1996!?

Guest Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 Elton John Benny and the Jets too easy Phil spot on Louise - all m ine come from a byegone era!

Miniature golf and Hondas in the hills When we rode the horse, we got some thrills. let me go and ask the missus if she remembers any... she's better at this stuff than me...
