Hello.
i’m listening To Stereophonics. I probably shouldn’t because I find listening to music doesn’t help me emotionally, it often makes me worse.
But a particular song came on and it got me thinking about misheard lyrics.
Do you have any funny misheard lyrics?
Graffiti on a train by stereophonics my dad thought he was singling, “little fitty on a train” now I can’t unhear those lyrics whenever that song comes on....
Another one is the Police song, message in a bottle, they sing, 'it's a year since I wrote my note.' I hear, 'it's a year since I broke my nose.'
'A Year has passed since I wrote my note.'
Message in a Bottle. (my favourite seventies song as a ravenous kid from the Britpop generation)
There is also So lonely. "Sue Lawley!"
The song from 2006 by a Welsh Emo band (forget their name) 'A town called hypocrisy'. I heard, "A town called Linford Christie!"
Except on 'Joker.'
And Gary Glitter has been written out of pop history. And is never mentioned these days
The Lostprophets were the Welsh band I was trying to mind.
I knew that the frontman is in jail for abuse. The video of the song was about a kids' show which was decadent off-screen.
It made me a bit uncomfortable.
Thanks for the.correction.
It's years since I heard the 'Sue Lawley' song.
