Charles & Eddie - Would I lie to you baby.

Can't help but thinking they are signing "look into my thighs can't you see there open wide"

"Don't you know it's true
Girl you look like Scooby Doo"


The woman in Heaven 17s Temptation sings: "But you're down in the hot spa, it's a million to one chance"


Talk Talk - It's My Life "I've messed myself, how much do you lose?"

There used to be a Radio 1 DJ who would broadcast peoples' misheard lyrics, and the two which always spring to mind and raise a chuckle when I hear the songs are:

- "Mike Read just crawled on the dance floor to join in the masquerade" from Thriller

and

- "Ooooh-oooh, my ears are alight" from The Israelites

It was mentioned earlier in the thread - Bruno Brookes' 'twisted lyric'.
He was unceremoniously sacked during the Trevor Dann period back when R1 had character, a story to tell and Dann was having a major clearout of 'dead wood'.
He was also famous (relatively) for accidentally playing the full uncensored version of Rage against the machines "Killing In The Name" containing the lyrics:

"fk you, I won't do what you tell me!
Motherfker!
Uggh!"

He went on to DJ at various places including a Leeds radio station where he met and became manager for a certain Chris Moyles.

There's an old Fear Factory tune called New Breed. The lyrics go "born, bread, beaten" but for years my mate and I were convinced it was "morbid retard". The joys of metal.

There isn't much in "She Moves In Her Own Way" that's understandable until you read the lyrics, they must have recorded it on the way back from the pub.

"To these tiresome paper jeans,
Paper jeans, honey
I don't verdigris, she moves in her own way"

I could have sworn it was baby jeans.
They should really set a rule where they don't do any recording until at least a week after dental surgery.

I remember when this came out, I had to get hold of a copy of the album and read the lyrics just to convince myself I was mishearing that one!

One of mine...

"But when it came to rush the queen
Oh will they ever be Sid Green"

(Run To The Hills, just before the bass kicks in and the song goes into top gear)

Slightly O/T many years ago Pope John Paul II broke a leg getting out of the bath, the radio as reported it as a bathroom fall, I heard...

'Pope John Paul II has broken a leg in a bar room brawl'

"Last Christmas", the wife piped up with:

"Friends with tie dyes."

Instead of

"Friends with tired eyes."

She said she thought it was an odd 80s fad.
