    Public Enemy – ‘Bring The Noise’

    Death Row, water buffalo

    Beastie Boys – ‘Intergalactic’, the vocoder voice bit

    Intergalactic, planetary, planetary, intergalactic,
    I’m havin’ a big shit,
    I’m havin’ a big shit,
    I’m havin’ a big shit,
    I’m havin’ a big shit,

    Don’t talk to me about misheard lyrics, I’ve got a four year old who goes round mumbling ‘up town funk you up’ half the time.

    I remember singing ‘Serowe’ to Police’s ‘So lonely’ whilst driving around Botswana. I preferred the African version.

    Gala, freed from desire.

    One mate thought she sang “My lover has no money, he’s got his stronger leaves”

    And a old work colleague though it was “he’s got his trombolease”, he didn’t want to look stupid so didn’t ask what what a trombolease was.

    And in the new Thunder song “Wonder Days” there’s a line “I wanted to be older, wanted to be cool”. Was convinced on the first few listens it was “I wanted to be Yoda, wanted to be cool”. Which would have been better.

    Take a Load of Fanny

    RIP Levon Helm, a great singer songwriter. However much he hoped it would be otherwise the load of fanny is probably his legacy.

    I’m surprised no ones mentioned ‘Spagnas’ eighties hit ‘Corned Beef’.
    http://youtu.be/O8w4YenX1aM.

    Listening to the ‘Uptown funk’ on the radio the other week and thought Bruno Mars sung “fill my cup ,put some Ni**er in it”, had to check the lyrics with my daughter when I got home, thankfully I was wrong.

    Just remembered, I once had a blazing argument enthusiastic difference of opinion with a mate who was insistent that the lyrics to Venus (at the time covered by Bananarama) went, “I’m your Venus, I’m your flytrap…”

    Also, Spagna on YT segued into Mental As Anything which led into Transvision Vamp’s Baby I Don’t Care, so … yes.

    Miley Cyrus, Wrecking Ball

    Thought it went ” I came in like a rugby ball “

    Taylor Swift’s latest apparently says ” got a long list of ex lovers ” not as I heard it ” got lonely Starbucks lovers ”

    Gala’s freed from desire, I thought it said ” my lovers got no money he’s got his dungarees ”

    the Beatles: Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds, “The girl with colitis goes by”
    Also, in Back in the USSR my wife insisted the words were, “let me hear your bellows like they’re ringing out”

    I thought David Bowie’s Scary Monsters, Super Creeps began “she ‘ad an ‘orror of prunes”

    REM’s Sidewinder Sleeps Tonight – I genuinely thought the chorus was “Calling Chuck Baker” I still don’t really think it’s “Come on in try and wake her” but it is apparently.

    Me: “Mr window yeaaaahhh..”
    Friend: “What!?”
    Me: “Mr Window, I’m singing the song”
    Friend: “It ain’t Mr Window”
    Me: “What!? Why the **** did you let me sing that all those years!!”
    Me: “What is it then?”
    Friend “Mr Wendal you muppet!”
    😳

    This is the only one I can remember at the moment, but I’m terrible at translating lyrics.

    At junior school I thought a “sadolay” was another name for a baby.

    Reason being, we learned hymns in assembly not from books but by joining in with everyone else. So for years I cheerfully sang,

    “Oh come little sadolay,
    Oh come little sadolay,
    Chri-ist the Lord.”

    Mmm, Wendy 🙂

    As for songs I am sure anyone who was clubbing in the mid-90’s will remember Nuyorican Soul – Play Those Vibes or Bacon Fried Bacon Fried Bacon Fried as people sung it!

    Girl you dangerous like a gun

    Your love is a killer
    You’re officer Kayla
    Your love is a killer
