My little one would belt out these hymns-
Gold cherries on the mountain, over the hills & far away and
The urgent Mary had a baby boy

I was going to say that one AGAA4!!

Every time you go away you take a piece of meat with you (should be me)

It was years before my grandmother confessed that she'd been singing the hymn "Gladly the cross I'd bear" as "Gladly the cross eyed bear"! I remember someone doing a spoof of "The Israelites" singing "Me ears are alight" and "Bohemian Rhapsody" - "Beelzebub has the Devil for a sideboard"

Golden brown, texture like sun
Lays me down, with my mancheros…

I never questioned what a manchero was. If I’d been asked I might have said some sort of tasty snack.

It’s “with my mind she runs”, apparently.

Yes Vice Versa I have now but hadn't when I mistook the lyrics. Prefer the sanitised version anyway.

Don't marry her have me by the beautiful south. I thought it was don't marry her Habean ( and assumed Habean was a name.
Night fever by the Bee Gees, my friend and I thought there was a line, "It's the night for the night bus ride, hurry now and catch it" !

Hot chocolate I always used to think they were singing „ wear your bra , you sexy thing „ and it’s „ where you from you sexy thing „ 🤣

My mum called the Ian Dury song hit me with your mallet mick instead of hit me with your rhythm stick

My old mum loved a song called ‘poetry in motion’ but would sing ‘oh a tree in motion’.
I always thought that the words to ‘when the going gets tough’ sounded like ‘go and get stuffed’
As an earlier poster said, the bee gees often sing unclear lyrics, and I did think that
‘Feel the city breakin and everybody Shakin’ in ‘staying alive’ was really ‘feel the city baking….’
I thought it referred to baking hot weather rather than everyone watching Bake Off 🤣

I remember a song from the 1960s which began "She's a must to avoid." For ages I thought they were singing "She's a muscular boy."

When I was very young I insisted the song ‘Greensleeves’ was really Green peas
My DD used to sing ‘Living Dog’ to Cliff Richards’ Living Doll!

My small neighbour would sing 'All through my wild days, my magic sixpence' from 'Don't cry for me Argentina.

I love that 😄 instead of mad existence

We used to call Annie, I’m Not Your Daddy, the Onomatopoeia song.

I don, I don, I don wanna beya, sounds just like,
Ona, Ona, Onamatopoeia.
