must be the reason why I'm naked examples of you.

Oh dear...
Therapy? - Hellbelly

"Jesus without the suffering" really sounds like "Jesus'll have to suck on me".

And if you've ever heard "Liberate" by Slipknot, it sounds like the main lyric is "Dried Bananas", over and over again.

My dearest mother
Thought Suzanne Vega sang "If you want me, You can find me, Leisure Centre"

Oh how we laughed as we carted her of to the old folks home.

After being sent the Birmingham Rapsody jpg
we sing those lyrics instead everytime.

Mrs hates it when I replace any lyrics with parody ones so of course I take every opportunity to do so.

Stealers Wheel, Stuck in the Middle

For years I thought the bit that went

"Clowns to the left of me,Jokers to the right, here I am, Stuck in the middle with you"

was actually
" Clive is to the left of me,George is to the right, here I am,Stuck in the middle with you"
One day my sister heard me singing those lyrics and slagged me to death. In fact, she still takes great delight in bringing it up and mocking me with it.

Hands off she's mine.
Bit of an old one but The Beat's catchy chorus of "Hands off, she's mine" always sounded to my young ears like
"I'm the cheese man".
That's what I sang anyway.

Not mine, but one I heard from someone else
The Doors - L.A Woman
Original lyrics:
"Well, I just got into town about an hour ago."

They heard:
"Well it's been about an hour since an hour ago."

Which makes sense, I suppose...

The present Mrs Pooflake...

Is a veritable delight at getting lyrics wrong...

2 classics of hers I remember are:

Queen - Bohemian Rhapsody: "Spare us this life from these pork sausages"

Fat Boy Slim - Rockafeller Skank: "Check it out now, Vauxhall brother" - She genuinely thought that the song was written for a car advert.

Despite these few lapses, she is winnit-tinglingly clever - this is why I never let her forget the lapses...

John Lennons overplayed Christmas song
I could have sworn that the kids choir were singing 'God is Gorgeous' over and over again.

It made sense in my mind coz it was a Christmas song. I didn't know it was A) by John Lennon B) War is Over

I discovered the truth last Christmas - age 29.

This led me to believe that he was sacking off the snobby woman and coming out of the closet instead.

A song I've been hearing on the radio for far too many years.
'Creep' by Radiohead.

Actual lyrics are :
"But I'm a creep.
I'm a weirdo"

What I heard was:
"But I'm a TREE"
"I'm a WILLOW".

I even checked with friends way back when, they all agreed the guy was singing about being a tree. My reply was, "Well no wonder another lyric is 'I don't belong here'...no fuck guy! You think you're a fucking tree!"


Whenever I hear this song even now I still giggle over the guy being a tree.
