Place your hands - Reef


Swanny17

Recommended Posts

I honestly thought that the first line was “place your hands, on my hole...”

 

Apparently that’s not the case.

 

So what songs do you mis-sing?

Is it not?

 

At least I thought "whole" rather than "hole".

Wham: Last Christmas 

 

Much to my fathers mirth, young me somehow amalgamated the intro to Star Trek “Space the final frontier...” into this song.  
 

But it turns out Wham! aren’t big Trekkies and definitely aren’t singing 

”This year, The Semi-Frontier”

 

I still hear it every time today.

Springsteen’s “Dancin in the dark” song has a line that goes “I shake this world off my shoulders...”

 

For years I heard “ a shed just walloped ma shoulders”.

been here before

Only recently found out that in Danger Zone the chart smash from 80s homo erotic masterpiece Top Gun, Kenny Loggins, sings "Highway to the danger zone" as opposed to fly me to the danger zone.

 

I think mines is better.

Better watch out for the skinheid.

 

I'd have thought the song title would help with that one?

I was more hearing the wrong lyrics.  I think miss hearing lyrics was mentioned... I hope.

I'm pretty sure it is whole. Validated by the second line which for ryming purposes is soul!

Years ago when Men In Hats had a hit with Safety Dance, I could never figure out what was the point of the line:

 

"And you can act real rude and totally removed
and like an African in Brazil"

 "It's your letters" isn't right either it seems...

Something I never misheard until someone else said it to me a couple of years ago, and now I can't unhear it, is this line from Sister Sledge's We Are Family:

 

"just let me staple the vicar

we're givin' love in a family dose"

 

I know it's not the lyric, but it's stuck in my head.

 

Also me: Sue Lawley, by the Police, and I Guess It Rains Down In Africa, by Toto

"It's your letters"?


Pretty sure “It’s your letters” is a version they did for TFI Friday. Edit: yeah...

Yes, I know. It was a slack attempt at humour. 

In my defence, I am trying to be funny while listening to a presentation by the banking regulator in one ear 🙄

Yeah, realized that once I’d replied. Sounds like you’re having a fun evening.

As a kid at primary school I couldnt understand why a song about Sue Lawley was called So Lonely. Worst part was that I had the alum and it had a lyric sheet inside......

William H. Bonney

Thunder road - Bruce Springsteen 

’the screen door slams, Mary’s dress waves’ 

 

for many years I heard: 

‘the screen door slams, Mary just wait’

Peter Kay did most of this in his stand up shows.

 

Edit: as pointed out by @Gards

Creedence Clearwater Revival 

Bad Moon Rising (chorus)

 

“Don't go around tonight
Well it's bound to take your life
There's a bad moon on the rise”

 

The third line I misheard as:

 

“There’s a bathroom on the right.”
 

Apparently that’s a common one. 
 

I also misheard The Stranglers, Golden Brown line “with my mind she runs” as “with my Manchroes”.  I’ve no idea what or who Mancheroes are.

I know, but if you listen to it, it does sound kind skinheid.  It's like that Frank black song Heidache...

Captain sensible. "Happy Talk" I was absolutely certain that he sang "Golly Baby I'm a Lucky C***"! I just watched it back and I'm still absolutely sure that's what he sings although the subtitles say "Cuss" (WTF?) at 2:15

Spent a couple of hours on a Somerset cider farm with Gary from Reef many years ago and asked him to clarify that very thing. 👍

My wife thought that the lyrics of Moose T. and Hot 'n' Juicy's "Horny '98" was "honey, honey honey" so wasn't too bothered by our two girls, who were aged 10 and 14 at the time, playing it constantly.  Until she was told the actual lyrics, that was.

Cutting Crew, 
‘I just died in your arms tonight,

it must have been some kind of cheese’

I’ve no idea what what the actual lyrics are, but I’m sure it’s not that.

Stranglers -Golden Brown

 

'Lays me down with my misheerons'.  I never knew what 'misheerons' were, and didn't find out the proper lyrics until a couple of years ago, when I saw them on a youtube video.

Shame 'cuss' is right. Imagine the other being belted out on Broadway in the 50s. 🤣

Drive in Saturday:

 

"It's a crash course for the ravens..."

 

It's not a huge leap from the actual (ravers) but I didn't think that 'ravers' was a thing in the '70s and the rest of the song's lyrics are all over the place anyway.

Naline and Kane - Beachball.

 

Lyrics sound like "Be ****ing Ready". No idea what they actually are. 😄

 

My wife sings "we found Dove in a soapless place" (Rhianna 🤣)
