Just a quick list for today. Inspired by a piece on BBC News Online, here are my favourite misheard song lyrics (I actually made up the first one to tease a friend years ago. She fell for it.)
#misheard lyrics
- I just died in your arms tonight, it must have been something I ate (Cutting Crew, I just died in your arms)
- Row row row your boat, gently down the stream, merrily merrily merrily merrily, life’s a butter dream (traditional song)
- Every time you go away, you take a piece of cheese with you (Paul Young, Every time you go away)
- With logs of the fire, and fish on the tree (Cliff Richard, Mistletoe and Wine)
- Those who find themselves religious, sit down next to me (James, Sit Down)
- And did I once hear a version of Fairy Tale of New York that said ‘you’re cheap and you’re haggard’….
