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?

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?

"She's got the power to be, the power to give the power to CAA..." Smile

Liked the 'stuck in Leigh on Sea' one, though....

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

The song was "The Man from Laramie" and the line was ....

"Danger was this man's special tea" - Shocked

(should be "Danger was this man's speciality") Laughing

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!
