I'm sure this thread will ofer a rich vein.
So what lyrics did you misshear, sing instead, I'll start you off with a few...
HUMAN LEAGUE - MIRROR MAN
Original: "Here comes the mirrorman, says he's a people fan"
Mine: "Here comes the mirrorman, say's he's a disco dan"
ELO - ROCKARIA!
Original: "She loves the way puccini lays down a tune, and verdis always creeping from her room"
Mine: "She loves the way Police lay down on you, and Bert is always creeping from her room"
I have more, what you got? _________________ Some say he once threw a microwave oven at a tramp and that all his potted plants are called 'Steve'.....all we know is, he's called 'The Stig!'. |

no, no, no! How could you not hear their best lyrics?
'When I called you last night from Glasgow' - obviously have specific reasons for liking that bit |

Kim Carnes: Bette Davies eyes:
"She's got Greta Garbos inner thighs"
Also more recently "Stuck in Leigh on Sea"
Where the hell am I supposed to be?
Spent ages wondering bout that one.
It's "Suddenly I see", but I prefer the one I thought I heard. |

Does Katy Tunstall really sing about the CAA in that song. If so, Why? |

Liked the 'stuck in Leigh on Sea' one, though.... _________________ Author: “To the Ends of the Earth: A Snapshot of Aviation in North-Eastern Siberia, Summer 1992”

No-one will remember this as I am going back a few decades ....

Re:KT is it 'why the hell it means so much to me' or 'what the heather means to me' from Suddenly I see - I reckon it's the former.. but I know someone who keeps saying she's singing about heather! |
