The Unchained melody....."Oh my love, my darling , I hunger for your crutch!
Forgot what the songs called but it's a dance song and the main lyrics are:
"S'gotta be big" and "Bring your body close to mine" "bring your body close to my lips yeah"
I always thought " Bring your body close to mine" sounded like "A Holy British Toaster-Matic"..
Don't ask...
When it first came out and got into the charts (and long before I was an actual Pink Floyd fan) I thought the line
"No dark sarcasm in the classroom"
was
"No Dukes of Hazzard in the classroom"
(Defies imagination!)
And Michael Jackson "Smooth Criminal"
it's SUPPOSED to be
"He came into her apartment
He left the bloodstains on the carpet "
and not
"He left her Blisteeze on the carpet"
I used to think it was "all I want is a big mantilla", until somone told me it was "… man to love"!
And I used to think that the Red Dwarf theme song went:
"goldfish roes nibbling at my toes"!
there aren't enough songs about goldfish!
I see a little silhouette-o of a man
Scaramouche, Scaramouche, can you do the fandango?
Thunderbolt and lightning - very very frightening me!
Galileo, Galileo, Galileo, Galileo, Galileo Figaro!
Magnifico-o-o!
I'm just a poor boy, nobody loves me!
He's just a poor boy, from a poor family - spare him his life from this monstrosity!
Easy come, easy go - will you let me go?
Bismillah! No!
Will you let me go?
Bismillah! No!
Let me go!
No, No, No, No, No, No, No!
O mama mia, mama mia! Mama mia let me go! Beelzebub has a devil put aside for me!
In so far as that magnficent nonsense means anything at all, 'Beelzebub' is one of the gods worshipped in the countries around pre-christian Israel who was later considered as a demon of post Roman christianity. Beelzebub means Lord of the Flies (thankyou, William Golding) and he is one of the Lords of Hell. He has a devil - a hell-imp whose job was to torture the souls in torment - put aside specifically for our hero, as opposed to just lumping him with the run-of-the-mill offenders in general population.
That's why 'has the devil' put aside doesn't make any sense.

IWhen i was young and used to listen to EJ i thought a line from Benny and the jets went, "he`s got electric boobs and mohab zoobs, you know i read it in a magaziiiiiiiiine whoa oohh bbbbbbbbbbbbb benny and the jets .......someone explained to me electric boobs didn`t exist and neithe did Mohab zoobs!!!!!!!!!!!!! i later found out it was in fact.......he`s got electric boots and a mohair suit, you know i read it in a magazine.......and so on.....
There's the famous Desmond Decker one
"Gets up in the morning, slaving for bread, sir
So that every mouth can be fed
Oh-oh, the Israelites"
often misheard as "My ears are alight!"
personally whenever I hear the chorus of "MmmBop" by Hanson
"MMMBop, ba duba dop ba do bop,
Ba duba dop ba do bop,
Ba duba dop ba do. Oh yeah,
MMMBop ba duba dop ba do bop,
Ba duba dop ba do bop,
Ba duba dop ba do"
I always mishear it as
"Hanson are evil
Hanson must die.
rip them limb from limb
strip the meat from their bones
and feed it to the wolves
Then grind their bones to dust
Hanson burn in hell for all eternity"
Odd that .. ain't it
Last night...... my eldest child and my mini me... went round the house singing.....
wait for it.....
Oh I wish I was a prawn cracker with flowers in my hair....
Due to the poor handwriting of one of my sisters/poor eyesight of mine, i always thought that jimmy somerville had a song out called 'smalltown bay' and due to me not listening to the words properly i thought it was it all about him moaning about how running away or somethingboring it was - 'wind and rain on a saturday night.' (actually 'wind and rain on a sad and lonely face,' having just checked on t'internet). Had a bit of a shock when i saw it on a music channel a few years ago
Until I hit double figures (or thereabouts) I was convinced that Rolf Harris was singing about "Jake the Pig" (deedle-eedle-eedle-um, with an extra leg, deedle-eedle-eedle-um). I often wondered if it was "peg" rather than "pig" (to rhyme properly with "leg" - that'll be the pedant in me), but a clothes peg with an extra leg just didn't make sense, so pig it was!
