Do others ever hear things wrongly ? Especially in pop songs ?

My mates son, when very young, thought the funeral service went thus :- ...In the name of the Father , the Son and in the hole he goes ... :x

For years I thought that pop song " Street Life" was "Street Lights"

The other day heard someone refer to The Pirates of Penzance by Gilbert O'Sullivan.

Heh heh. Yes, I do all the time (cos I'm deaf) - heard 'she's got a hairdryer' in one of Cher's songs ?:|

I prefer not to know the words as it spoils and detracts from the sound.

Oh yes.........!

In The Eurythmics "There must be an angel", I'm convinced that Annie Lennox sings:

"I'm grown and overblown with fleas"

I've just had a look at the video on YouTube and a careful listen, and still think Annie has a flea problem!

For me it has to be the Police

'So lonely' sounds like 'Sue lawley'

Abba "Chiquitita" could be "Chicken tikka"

Brian Adams - friend of mine at Sixth form thought the line:

"Got my first real six string" was "Got my first real s.e.x dream"

As A kid I thought for years that " Good King Wenclass Last looked out, on the feast of Steven "

[Zeespark]

For me it was 'When the tough get going, the going gets tough'. To me it sounded more like 'When the stuffed get going, the going gets stuffed'. Almost like a Christmas day mass being called to arms in the kitchens, courtesy of Billy Ocean.

What did they say ?

More or less on topic..

Over the years my hearing is not what it used to be, so recently at customers houses...

Job 1. Lady of the house asks me if I will be here for I while, I replied that it would be about 2 hours before I finished... she replied 'thats good cos I need to go out to get laid' ...

After a few moments mulling it over, I just couldn't resist and just had to ask....

Thank you very much for telling me, but why are you telling me that your going out to get laid ?

She replied.. 'Not Laid !!!! I said I'm going to get weighed (Weight watchers).

Job 2.

Manager of the premises comes outside to where I'm replacing a lamp and asks if I like bums.

O'h crap... if I don't answer diplomatically then the job could be at risk.

So I replied that I had no interest in bums, but had given the matter some thought and was very happily married and was very happy with my sexuality just the way it was... if however I could help by finding out more information about bums then I would pass on the details of any support groups.

Phew I thought, thats got me off the hook... but the manager was looking at me very strangely, after looking at me for some time he said....

Not bums ...... Buns !!! I going to the cake shop and wanted to know if you wanted me to get you anything..

Oppps.

For years my Mother-in-Law thought Mary Poppins was saying "**** off" when she said "Spit Spot", we often wondered why she wouldnt let the kids watch the film
