Many, many years ago when the song Trapped by Colonel Abrams was out, I was convinced that he was -

'oh, oh I'm trapped like a bulldog in a cage', which seemed plausible. It was actually -

'like a fool I'm in a cage' which doesn't seem right at all!

Just remembered that classic song about women from the Black Country having stronger accents than the men....

The Female of the Species Is More Dudley Than The Male.

I didn't know the title of the song that I quite liked that was on the radio all the time when I was younger and I thought the lyrics were embarrassingly "The trucks don't work" and I couldn't work out for the life of me why that made any sense ....

Edit: Just listened to that YouTube video and it STILL sounds like trucks to me ...

Ava Max has a new song out entitled 'Maybe you're the problem', I could have sworn she sings:

But with you, it's always my fault
And your short fuse, just like a tampon

(No i've no idea who she is either, but I keep hearing it on R2)

The woman in Heaven 17s Temptation sings: "But you're down in the hot spa, it's a million to one chance"
No, she doesn't. The actual line is "Put your dime in the hot slot, but it's a million to one shot"

One I recently found out was in Aztec Cameras 'Somewhere in my heart'

"A vision of love wearing boxing gloves and singing hearts and flowers" is actually

"Ambition and love wearing boxing gloves and singing hearts and flowers"

I always thought it was "Put your thumb on the hot spot"!

Technotronic - Pump up the jam

Just found out -

"I want a place to stay"

is in fact

"I don't want a place to stay. "


"I don't want a place to stay
Get your booty on the floor tonight
Make my day
I don't want a place to stay
Get your booty on the floor tonight
Make my day"
