The last topic reminded me of these little dittys which I unintentionally (or sometimes not) have misheard...

"I've got Tourettes" - Kaiser Chiefs

"I go to bed and bubble blood" - Katy Melua

"I wear goggles when you are not here" - Macy Gray

...and the classic:

"Bring me an Iron Lung" - Stevie Winwood

  1. Its a stretch but is the Kaiser Chiefs one "I Predict a Riot"?

    Katie Melua?! Have we no standards? "and go to bed in rubber gloves" is the bizarre lyric from 'My Aphrodisiac is You'

    "My world crumbles when you are not near" - Macy Gray (I Try) simples!

    ... and of course the confusion of "Higher Love" with "Iron Lung" is a mistake anyone could make.

    Top sport fellah! more needed.

    I shall rack my grey matter. in the meantime I recall mis-pronouncing The Lord's Prayer when I was young...

    Our Father, who art in heaven,
    Harold be thy name...

    :-O
