There’s a station called Drem in Scotland, (Fife?) and it was a chilly place. The kids who went via it to school in Haddington used to adapt the Lord’s Prayer to “ and lead us not into Drem station”
Clever I thought.

Drem is in East Lothian, not Fife.

From the Hail Mary prayer: "Blessed art thou a monk swimming."

Thy foot heel not let slide

The latest from the grandchildren when singing along to ‘Wham’
“Last Christmas I gave you my heart
And the very next day, you sold it on eBay”
🎶

I think that's a pretty good lyric for our times!

(Daughter) 'Every time you go away - you take a piece of meat with you!'

My daughter had to learn the song "Happiness Is" for an infant school assembly. Her version was "Having a Zizz"!!!

As a child I thought Baa Baa Black sheep’s last line was “for the little boy who lives down the drain.” Never could understand why!

That's like my noisy sewing one . The world must be a bewildering place for children. I suppose they just accept what they don't understand as there is so much confusion.

The BeeGees, I think from Staying Alive:

“It’s alright, it’s okay, you make love the other way”

I love this one .

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

Auld Lang Sine turned into Old Man’s Eye when sung by my brother as a child.

When I was very little, my aunt taught me to sing Beatles songs to entertain her friends, and I learnt 'She Loves You' off by heart.

I thought it was a strange song, but as a child didn't give it a lot of thought until years later, when I realised the words weren't 'She said I heard her sew. She almost lost her mind.'

Even as a tot I thought that was an over-reaction

A friend thought the Beach Boys ‘Barbara Ann’ was Bob Around

Harry hoover Instead of Hallelujah ( child at school)

My friends little boy was only around two or three when 'Reet Petite' made a comeback.
The little un would blow a perfectly timed raspberry to imitate the tongue rolling R-r-r-r-eè part, then carry on with the rest of the song.

Two of DD2’s at a very young age

Two Lips from Amsterdam
From Grease - Look at me I’m Sandra Dee, lousy whisper ginity….(lousy with virginity). She had no idea at that age what virginity was.

The Eddie Grant song, Electric Avenue.

My school friend thought it was 'We're gonna rock down to electrical canoe'.

I don't know if the ad is still being used, but if it is, next time it comes on you too can sing along senselessly .

I much prefer your version Doodledog

I was puzzled for ages by the line 'I want to swim down the Champs Elysees' (it was in a perfume ad), but joined in vigorously.

It was only when my son heard my tuneless rendition and burst out laughing that I could even hear the real words - 'I want to swing from the chandeliers'. I still think the song sounds more like my version, even though it makes no sense. Judge for yourselves

Every time you go away you, take a piece of meat with you 😊
