Song Lyric Malfunctions

[Davido]

Might as well face it your a dick with a glove by Robert Palmer

 

[Igzilla]

Kate Bush, Wuthering Heights:

"Heathcliff, It's me, it's Kathy, I've come home now,
Woah-oh-oh-oh, a beard at your window"

 

[Bedsex]

I was even worse: as a child I thought she sang "Last night I dreamt of some dago".

Obviously, as a child, I had no idea what "dago" meant, nor that it was a derogatory term. In my defence

I also heard the "dago" lyrics. Later on in the song I was convinced Madonna also sang "Chop the goolies, island breeze", apparently it was "Tropical this island breeze"!

Might as well face it your a dick with a glove by Robert Palmer

Similar to Tina Turners classic "Whats a glove got do with it"

 

[Buzzer]

I used to think it was "I was happy in the arms of a drunken man" from Heaven knows I'm miserable now. I still prefer that version.

And there's a line in the Ketchup Song by those Spanish bints at the end of the chorus where I swear they are singing "Boogie in a wheely bin"

And Macy Gray - "I blow bubbles when you're not here". Whatever gets her through the day, I suppose.

 

[Goldstone Rapper]

There's a bit in 'Thriller' where I think it sounds like 'let me share a, can o', Stella, with ya..'

I don't want to read the real lyrics as I'm pretty sure Michael Jackson's song does not actually contain those words.

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

The Police's ode to former BBC newsreader Sue Lawley springs to mind

 

[Goldstone Rapper]

Row row row your boat
Gently down the stream
Merrily merrily merrily merrily
Life's a BUTTER DREAM.

 

[The Modfather]

Might as well face it your a dick with a glove by Robert Palmer

Was that the track about Michael Jackson

 

[Buzzer]

Although I've heard the song a million times and know every other line off by heart AND I've looked it up I can never remember the bit in Up The Junction after "From bars to streets to bookies". My best guess is "the morning by the telly, the morning I started smelling (or maybe spelling)"

 

[Poyetry In Motion]

Gotye - Eyes Wide Open

I hear " some people laugh at our bedsores "

The actual lyric is " some people offered up answers "

 

[The Modfather]

Although I've heard the song a million times and know every other line off by heart AND I've looked it up I can never remember the bit in Up The Junction after "From bars to streets to bookies". My best guess is "the morning by the telly, the morning I started smelling (or maybe spelling)"

I thought it was 'no more nights by the telly, no more nights nappies smelling'

 

[Baldseagull]

REM Sidewinder sleeps tonight "calling in Cheryl Baker" is what I hear, I think it's "call and try and wake her up"

 

[Poyetry In Motion]

The Police's ode to former BBC newsreader Sue Lawley springs to mind

I always thought that was "salami, salami, salami "

 

[Lady Whistledown]

"I can't believe you kiss your cock at night"

 

[Buzzer]

I thought it was 'no more nights by the telly, no more nights nappies smelling'

You could well be right. I seem to have a complete mental block with remembering it and I've no idea why.

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Always expect Bridgit Mendler to sing...

Ready or not
Here I come
I like your face
Do you like my bum?

 

[pasty]

Well bloody hell. Right up until I read that post I've always thought it was "From barter street to bookies"

 

[Buzzer]

And although not a malfunction and I realise I am criticising one of the greatest songwriters this country has produced but back to the Smiths - their song Half A Person would have been improved in my very humble opinion if instead of repeating "have you got a vacancy for a back-scrubber?" he'd have changed it to 'pub singer'. It kind of fits the song.

And on that theme the Sugababes debut single 'Overload' "one way ticket to a madman's situation" doesn't make sense. 'No-win situation' does though.

I'm on a roll now. Guns n Roses Paradise City - keep the song title but change the line to "Take me down to the very last city". Do that and you'll have a hit record guaranteed.

I'm the Bernie Taupin of NSC, me.

 

[Buzzer]

Well bloody hell. Right up until I read that post I've always thought it was "From barter street to bookies"

I shudder to think what other songs I've been getting the words wrong to for years.
