    Misconstrued or misheard lyrics

    What lyrics have you heard that were obviously NOT what was being sung but you heard them that way.

    The one I think off is Sweet Dreams by eurythmics when Annie Lennox says she wants to “suck his circumcision.”

    Goodness knows what it’s meant to be.

    My girlfriend many years ago once sang " cause your bum position ain't right" instead of " cause your conversation ain't right" to Alexander O'Neills "criticise"
    Lyrics in the pharrell Williams/ Katy perry song " "feelings" sounds like " I'm your window shopper, suck offa my knob" whenever I hear it!!
    The Peter Kay sketch on the subject of mids-heard lyrics is a classic that never fails to make laugh

    For a long time I wondered why the Billy Joel Song ‘Scandinavian Skies’ referred to the ‘Condor Legions’ (the Nazi German air force which supported Franco’s Nationalists in the Spanish Civil War). Turns it the lyric was ‘Cold Norwegians’.

    On a Xmas theme, I remember my then 4yr old daughter piping up from the rear seat of my car, "Dad! who's John Virgin"?. I hadn't a clue what she was on about so I asked where she'd heard his name. She said they sang it at school ... it was the words from the carol.... ' round yon Virgin mother & child'....sweet!

    Paul Young 'Everytime you go away, you take a piece of meat with you'

    Alison Moyet: 'Came in from the city, walked into a door'

    My favourite from Madonna and Isla Bonita:
    'Last night I dreamt of some dago,
    Just like I'd never gone I knew the song,
    He had eyes like potatoes,
    ...'

    Best song for misconstrued lyrics is Into the Valley by The Skids.

    A favourite of mine, and I can't resist singing "whose disease is catskin?"

    Great track...

    Cheers,
    Neil.

    There is a rap with a line that sounds like 'Jack and Jill went up the hill to have a little fcuk'. Can't for the life of me remember who its by.
