FRIDAY


'Teddy Bear' - Red Sovine

About a physically disabled fatherless child who speaks in rhyme.

The line which always confused me was "So long, trucker! Ah'll see ye agin!"


























For years I thought he said "So long, sucker!"

It's a hard egg - Bonnie Tyler

Mulligan's Tyres - Paul McCartney & Wings



("...far have I travelled,
and much have I seen...")

Feel Like I'm In Love - Kelly Marie

"My knees shake" sounds like "I need a shave" 2nd or 3rd time in.


Games Without Frontiers - Peter Gabriel

The French bitty sounds like "She's so popular"

'Do I Do' - Stevie Wonder
In the chorus, It's lovely that he has "candy kisses for your lips"...and he has "honeysuckle chocolate dripping kisses full of love for you"...but, it sometimes sounds as if he has "honeysuckle sausages and kisses full of love". Weird taste! Great track though.

The Kooks - 'Naive'
The Daughter thought for ages that the lyrics "I know she knows that I'm not fond of asking' was actually "I know she knows that i'm not from Nebraska"

'She Moves In Her Own Way' - The Kooks
It must be a familial failing, not being able to decipher Kooks lyrics...
I wondered why they were singing about "Tiresome Paper Jeans"

My ex thought for years that Manfred Mann lived in the back of the Greta Gobble Hobble Wayward boys and Girls.

FRIDAY


One for Hoppo...

"There's a bathroom on the right." C.C.R.

#5

Gotta be a joke in there somewhere.......

#6 is there a phone in the lavvy?

John Prine once told the story of a woman who kept requesting a song called The Happy Enchilada at a concert. Puzzled, he told her that he had never written a song about a happy enchilada. She argued with him that indeed he had.

To prove her point, she recited a line from the song. She said, you know, "it's a happy enchilada and you think you're gonna drown."

Laughing, John Prine told her that it was the song "That's The Way That The World Goes 'Round."

The line in question was: It's half an inch of water and you think you're gonna drown. That's the way that the world goes 'round.

John Prine - Thats The Way That The World Goes Round

The ants are my friends - they're blowing in the wind.

"Mondegreen," said Tiger.

Does she have a friend / Gene Chandler

He's supposed to sing ''Ask her ask her does she have a friend for me''

So why instead does he sing

'Asda Asda does she have a friend for me'




Perhaps he can pick one up somewhere between the beans and the soap powder.

Other misheard supermarkets are also probably available elsewhere.

Cheese scone / hall and Oates

#12. Whoich reminds me that The Daughter sings 'Tattie Scone' along with Glasvegas!

You'll not have to listen too long for this one!

"Little lamby boy"

Army Dreamers ~ Kate Bush

strange but true................a friend of my wife located to that douce downmarket suburb of dundee, broughty ferry (known locally as 'the ferry')........and was having difficulty understanding the local venacular....thinking the name of the evening paper was 'twatullies' as this is what she had heard the person in front of her in the queue ask for............when she eventually had the courage and confidence to purchase an evening paper she naturally asked for 'twatullies'....... then handed back the unexplained extra paper she was given!!!!

tonite must be then a golden opportunity for the majority of listeners mishearing the lyrics of............

'ananininganeana'.................michael marra

(my favourite bit is the joobly bit...........years since i had a joobly......people might think he's talking about the joobly celebrations just anounced for next year.....cannae wait!!)

cheers frae the dale

Cue for:

"Aw naw - no' Annoni oan an' 'aw noo"

Have we had follow-ups as a theme? Some are near-identical cash-ins (All Day and All of the Night), some show real improvement (Please Please Me) and some fall on stony ground (dust off your copy of Norman Greenbaum’s Canned Ham).

Good theme suggestion Glen. Don't think that's been done before.

"I'd like to get to know your badger...."


Sharing The Night Together - Dr. Hook ~ I've heard worse chat up lines! LOL!

;o)

Conversely...

I've had a similar experience once... Somethin' about a tadger!

I had been saving this for the Biscuits & Confectionary theme, but doesnt Curly Wurly* get a mention in Manfred Mann`s version of Blinded by the Light?


*Other chewy toffee bars can also be occasionally misheard in pop songs.

Bicycle hut..bicycle hut ye ye ye ye three degrees I think? always wondered why they loved their bicycle hut so much. maybe they used to smoke behind it at school?

You took a fine time to leave me loose wheel with 400 children and a croc in the field i used to have visions of the guy trying to control all the kids whilst someone fixed the wheel meanwhile the crocs are all looking hungrily from the swamp well it is a country song so anything goes....

Bohemian Rhapsody sparing his life for his mums sausages ...easy come easy go will he let him go its me love no he will not let him him go

oh and I remembered another I used to mix up .... My diamond necklace... Andy Fairwetherlow i guess im just daft or hard of hearing or.... something

#20 Adam gets a mention in Brooce original too...

Abba's Supertrouper.......

'I was sick and tired of everything
When I called you last night from Tesco'

Armed and Extremely Dangerous - First Choice

" The day he came into my life he caught me with my drawers down"

(it's actually 'guard down' but it does sound like 'drawers down')

Don't Stop The Carnival - Georgie Fame once misheard as:

'George, George, Stop the car, get out'

regardez youse

henri

regardez youse

henri

I used to wonder who Paul Simon was namechecking in "The Sound of Silence" ..."Hello Douglas my old friend" not to mention the Eagles song about the rude cowboy, "Desperado" ..."You've been outright offensive for so long now":0)Cheers Willie Bartke

#26
That reminds me Henri of The Style's Council's

"Lights go out. Drawers come tumbling down".

And whilst we're on the subject, there's The Real Thing with

"Now you've got the vest off me, come on and take the rest of me"

The Bee Gees How Deep Is Your Love
I would say it was very deep, as "you came to me on a submarine"

DIVE! DIVE! DIVE!

Slow ahead & Stop.

Coldplay's "Viva La Vida"... when I heard the chorus I actually thought Martin was singing "Roman Catholic choirs are Singing" obviously the actual lyric is "Roman Cavalry choirs are singing."

#29

Mary-Doll,

He was lying on the bed.


























The sea bed...

Phew!
Nipped over the 30 post line.

Ah ken Adam.


Let us on the blog console ourselves safe in the knowledge that tonights theme was due to overwhelming public demand!
