Two misheard lyrics
Discussion
By gad, chaps. I just endeavoured to post in the original misheard lyrics thread and the message came back,' You don't have permission to post in this thread.'
Well, perhaps this isn't a reasonable use of my time and resources,but I'm going to do it anyway..
The Belle Stars song 'This is a sign of the times' (1982) said,
"This is the sign of the times
Piece of more to come
This is the sign of the times
Time to be alone."
This always made me wonder what a piece of marzipan had to do with it.
In the same year, along came Musical Youth with 'Pass the dutchie'.
Why was that boy asking us to, "Pass the dogst 'pon the left hand side"?

I always wondered why Madonna had such a thing for Bill Oddie...

I'm not sure you've really got the hang of this. They do sing 'Piece of more to come', It means this is a piece, with more of it to follow.Well, perhaps this isn't a reasonable use of my time and resources,but I'm going to do it anyway..

here are the Belle Stars https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UOKJfQpbsL0
Listen to the first run through of the chorus, at 30 secs or so. Then tell me it doesn't sound like she's
singing 'piece of marzipan'.
Here are Musical Youth. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dFtLONl4cNc
Listen to any example of the chorus - and tell me it doesn't sound like he sings
'Pass the dogst 'pon the left hand side'.
Just in case the swear filter's causing confusion, it's pass the 'dog' + (Sierra Hotel India Tango).
Happy now?
The defence rests
By the way, I recall Peter Powell (IIRC) explaining that a dutchie is a cooking pot, bowl or some similar utensil.
I suspect this was the Beeb attempting to deny a dutchie might be thought of as a joint, spliff, reefer, bomb, bomber, stick,
blunt, zol or bifter.

I wondered for a very long time while listening on the radio while the trucks weren't working: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ToQ0n3itoII
I am mildly offended by Billy Ocean’s ‘When the Going Gets Tough’ as he seems to be singing ‘go and get stuffed…’
KD Lang’s ‘Constant Craving’ is ruined for me as I keep hearing ‘can’t stand gravy…’
In the chorus to Macy Gray’s ‘I Try’ (especially towards the end of the track, when she is getting a bit excited) she seems to be singing ‘I blow bubbles when you are not here’.

Temple of Love - Sister of Mercy
Original verse is:
In the black sky thunder sweeping
Underground and over water
Sounds of crying weeping will not save
Your faith for bricks and dreams for mortar
All your prayers must seem as nothing
Ninety-six below the wave
When stone is dust and only air remains
I still hear the 4th line, when it's sung, as:
Your faith for bricks and Reeves and Mortimer

In the black sky thunder sweeping
Underground and over water
Sounds of crying weeping will not save
Your faith for bricks and dreams for mortar
All your prayers must seem as nothing
Ninety-six below the wave
When stone is dust and only air remains
I still hear the 4th line, when it's sung, as:
Your faith for bricks and Reeves and Mortimer

I have a new one, but it evades me right now, i'll be back when it's played again....
"No sleep till bedtime" was by Wierd Al Yankowicz I think.
ETA..no, it was in Stutter Rap by Morris Minor and the Majors
And IIRC the MY original lyric was "pass the coochie(sp?)"(a joint) and was replaced by "dutchie"(a pot" as it was felt not right for kids to be singing about drugs.
I may have missed remembered though.
