You mean it's not a mancheeron?
That reminds me of another one:
Blur - Song 2
"I got my head shaved, by a jimojay" I always did wonder what a jimojay was.
It was only a few weeks ago I found out it was jumbo jet.
And I used to sing along to this constantly while playing Fifa Road to World Cup 98.
Stone Roses - I wanna be Adored
Someone once asked me "What is a "dored" anyway?"
Seconded. I always presumed it was some 70s drug reference that I was too young and innocent to get:oQuote:

Surprised no-one has mentioned Queen's 'fried chicken' at the end of 'One Vision'
Slightly off topic but I remember many moons ago buying my brother-in-law the Shooting Stars game which came with a CD which included Vic Reeves doing his "Karaoke" style version of songs and you had to guess what he was singing. We had a party one night and the CD came out and we were all trying to guess the songs and there was one where he kept singing "what about the chickens" over and over. Turned out it was nothing to do with chickens but was his version of Michael Jackson's Earth Song. Was really funny especially to those who were using "performance enhancing substances" on the night.
Ex workmate had me in fits once...
Bee Gees 'How Deep Is Your Love' changed to 'How Big Is Your Kn*b'? :D
It's actually "I got my head checked" ;)Quote:

I have quite a few of these that I can't remember at the mo, I think because I get genuinely embarrassed for myself each time I find out the difference between the real and imagined phrase, and proceed to block it from my memory. I'm sure one or two will come back with a bit of prompting.
Nirvana's "Smells like Teen Spirit" has a line "When the lights out, its less dangerous".
A mate of mine heard it as "When the lights out, MISSUS DAVIS!!!!!!"
Heard one the other day that could be misconstrued...
Theres a line in Aerosmith's 'Dont Wanna Miss A Thing'
'Oh when I kiss your eyes and thank God we're together...'
I swore 'eyes' sounded like 'ass'.
Same with Shakira 'Underneath Your Clothes'
'Lamps are hanging from the ceiling' sounds like 'snots are hanging from the ceiling'.... :D
Mario Rosenstock in his Ronan Keating Guise on Gift Grub was going on about these yesterday. I wonder was he reading this thread as he mentioned nearly every one
I started this thread so I'll hunt him down if he does nick these.... ;)Quote:

That one Fergie from the Black Eyed Peas. her song Glamourous
She says
We're flying first class
Up in the sky
Poppin' champagne
Definitely sounds like
We're flying first class
Up in the sky
I got a sh*t pain
Just thought of another one.
Squeeze - Is That Love.
The line "Beat me up with your letters, your walk out notes" sounds like:
"Beat me up with your lettuce" :D
My mate used to think the chorus to REM's 'Sidewinder Sleeps Tonight' was "calling Chadder Baker" when it was "call me when she wakes now". Still gets a fierce time over it!
aerosmith - dude looks like a lady
i thought he said "do the frocky lady" :o
Lighthouse Family's High
At the end of the day
Remember the way
We were close to the UK
:eek:
