Adam & The Ants - Prince Charming

'Prince Charming, Prince Charming, pretty cool is nothing to be scared of....'

I can't remember where this came from, maybe a parody song but anyway..
Bryan Adams - Heaven

Baby you're all that I want
When you're lyin' here in my arms
I'm findin' it hard to believe
You're eleven.

Elton - someone shave my wife tonight
Paul Young - every time you go away you take a piece of meat with you
Police - from message in a bottle - it's been a year since I broke my nose

My OH took my car the other day. She wanted to know what cd it was that had the song 'I'm your turtle lover'.
That would be Judas Priest...

At the end of Mr Blue Sky by the ELO there is a synth voice, most seem to think it says 'mist-er blue sky-y' but it actually says 'please turn me over' as it was originally the last track on side three of the double album.

A new one. I've heard Kate Bush's Wow a lot of times since I first got The Whole Story in around 1990. A lot of times. All this time I have been unable to decide if she's singing Wow Wow Wow etc I'm burning the books, or I'm burning the boats.

This weekend my four year old daughter is singing along in the back of the car. First time she has ever heard the song. "Wow, wow, wow, UNBELIE-E-E-EVABLE!!!", she belts out happily.

Ah. Thanks for solving my 22 year old riddle, smartarse.

I have an alternative:

Baby you're all that I want
When you're lyin' here in my arms
I'm findin' it hard to believe
You're in Devon...

Machine Head's Imperium:

Berry Down, a bar of happy trolls, something from Nesta, Remington Fig Rolls, egg cyst stand, something that Sharon stole, will not suck condom down that I hold onto. Etc etc.

Now the official lyrics that are sung every time I see them live!

[HustleRussell]

Jon Richardson did a bit on '8 out of 10 cats' saying that he couldn't listen to 'Skyfall' without hearing 'Scaffold'

Shania Twain - That don't impress me

'I can't believe you kiss your car good night'
misheard as

'I can't believe you kiss your cock at night'

I always thought this was "I can't believe you kiss your carving knife"


Diana Ross: "Tell Eddie Waring there ain't no salvation"

[gareth_r]

Mrs r

"With four hundred children and a washing machine"

(Kenny Rogers - Lucille - With four hungry children and a crop in the field)

[mizx]

Pantera - fking Hostile

Partly due to a misheard lyrics video of the whole thing, I can't hear this any other way now

"Today I'll play the part of the parrot
Not make a hungry goose for you
You know I've got to Sail

Shall I make you fillet or T-Bone?
This naked love is making bridges
Minigun's the wrong way, the right way"

I always thought Up the Junction by Squeeze has the line
"This morning at 4.50
I took her rather nifty
Down to a naked painter
And 30 minutes later"

Which seemed a wierd thing to do

Thanks to PH I now know its "to an incubator" apparently
Seems a lot more realistic

[stephen300o]

"Look at my naked painter, turning in his grave"

Of course Brian was really singing..

"Look all my faked saints, burning and depraved"

[Halmyre]

Tom Jones in 'The Green Grass of Home' always seemed to be singing "her golden lips like cherries", which really baffled me as a child.

One I saw recently on another forum - who else thinks the first line of the Beach Boys 'Surfin USA' begins:

"If everybody had a notion"

[droopsnoot]

My mate once commented after hearing "19" by Paul Hardcastle - "yes, but's who's Jonathan?". I had to explain it's "None of them received a hero's welcome", not "Jonathan received a hero's welcome".

Same person also fell for the Queen Bo-Rap "Beelzebub had a devil for a sideboard" lyric, but I wasn't sure he didn't do that one on purpose.
