I've just remembered being quite young and singing along to my favourite song at that time "Feeling Grooby"
My family teased me relentlessly about that and it really embarrassed me to this day.
Grooby, indeed!

There's a village near Leicester called Groby, pronounced "Grooby". Perhaps that's what the locals sing.

I used to live in the Gate House at the old Groby Road Hospital, next to the morgue and the Crem was just up the road.
When a Child is born had just been released, the children always sang when a child has drawn. They liked their crayons in the infants.

A friend used to sing along to the Jam's "Eating Trifle". And another has asked, "Are we human? Or are we hamster?"

"Where the Mountains of Mourne leap down to the sea"

There was a song in the 70s called Smarty Pants.

The words were...they call her Smarty Pants looking for romance

My friend's man sang...they call her Frying Pan looking for a man

'A year has passed since I broke my nose'. DHs rendition of Message in a bottle - 'since I wrote my note'.

I misheard I'm so horny for I like honey. My teenagers told me in the end when I was singing "I like honey" outside and they took great joy in telling me the real words and what it was about.

Desmond Dekker and The Isrealites - or as I prefer it -Me ears are alight.

My grandmother told me that for years she used to sing a hymn about Gladly the cross-eyed bear.

That last part reminds me of Alanis Morrisette's You Oughta Know - 'It's not fair to deny me, of the cross-eyed bear that you gave to me'.

Going back decades! I had to Google this one, Poor Me by Adam Faith, for the actual words. Apparently the line is: Sit and cry that this was meant to be, but my little sister's version was, Silly guy assasessapee.... No idea what sense she made of assasessapee... 😶

Peter Kay does a wonderful set on misheard song lyrics.

I've not seen that one before Katek.
Hilarious!
Thank you for sharing

I used to make my workmate laugh with my misheard lyrics. I can't think of them all but I recall a song by a singer called Lorde called Royals. The line You can call me Queen Bee was misheard as You can call me Green Bean.

Another one from Desmond Dekker and the Israelites - "Wake up every morning, baked beans for breakfast".

I only learnt last year that Louis Armstrong sings ' the dark sacred night' I thought it was 'the dogs say goodnight'.

Celine Dion theme from the titanic “I will always love Hugh”

Highly flavoured Lady. Can't remeber Carol title.

We three kings of orient are, one in a taxi, one in a car, one on his scooter pipping his hooter following Ringo Starr. Not exactly misheard but still funny imo.

Elton John "pissing in a stream" (Honky Cat)

Love these kind of threads. Herman’s Hermits - She’s a must to avoid. I thought it was muscular boy! Currently playing everywhere I thought the Christmas song was ties in every store it’s actually toys but ties made sense to me at the time.

Bee Gees- "It's only worms, and worms are all you need..." (Words). My DDs used to sing this loudly at discos etc !

Highly flavoured Lady. Can't remeber Carol title.

The Angel Gabriel from Heaven came
His wings as drifted snow, his eyes as flame.
'All hail' said he 'the lowly maiden Ma-a-ry'
Most highly flavoured lady

Son used to sing ‘forget about your troubles and your stripes’ instead of strife in Bear Necessities. Jungle Book.

They aren't fantastic, no elastic
Very unsafe to wear.

On the Christmas theme, a child in a friend's primary class was very keen to play Round John in the Nativity play. She couldn't work out what he meant, but it turned out to be the Round John from Round John, virgin, mother and child.

Orly I had to go on YouTube to listen to that. Now I can't unhear it. My hubby thought the same.

Our Father who shouts in heaven Harold be his name, my favourite from my time as a nursery teacher.
