    The line in Killer Queen "she keeps her Moët and Chandon in a pretty cabinet" I used to think was
    She keeps a mower and shovel in a pretty cabinet !! I still sing it my way

    Pretty good...

    My uncle thought "I'll be waiting" (Neenah Cherry and the other chap) was "happy wedding"

    If you ever hear it again you can understand why...

    Good stuff.

    My favourite is a brilliant song by the Skids that featured in an old '80's Maxell tape advert.

    I still sing, "the soldiers go marching there's masses of lamb" and "whose disease is catskin"



    Cheers,
    Neil.

    And here is the original band with hilarious lyrics on TOTP with the added bonus of Eddie skanking it up whilst wearing a silly hat!


    Cheers,

    Arsene Wenger is definitely mentioned at the beginning of that Lion King song.

    You could have put a NSFE (Not suitable for Ears) on the Ken Lee video - It segwayed into catawalling part way through!

    My sister always thought it poignant that the battlefield in 'Goodbye Blackberry Way' had carrots in.

    Haha - i used to walk home from junior school in the 70's singing this.

    Was quite gobsmacked when years later i realized the lyrics weren't - "Spare him his life from his mums sossy tea"

    Er.. my mum would call sausages.. sossys

    Not strictly mis-heard by me, but there is a sentence in an Oasis song which used to consistently trigger my voice activated Garmin SatNav. Cannot remember what that particular bit of the song was saying, but it had obviously nothing to do with the command it was triggering/ activating on the satnav!

    My 2 favourites:

    Yazoo Don't Go: 'Came into the city, walked into a door'

    Madonna Isla Bonita: 'Last night I dreamt of some dago....he had eyes like potatoes'.

    Paul Young/ piece of meat always made me laugh.
