Doh! Getting lyrics wrong...

[Em Eye]

Ok so this will show that I'm not the smartest cookie on the block.

While watching the John Lennon special last night I remembered that when I was younger I used to sing "Oh we are sailing, lets give peace a chance". Doh, I'm laughing now at how dumb it is...Ok in my defence I was just a baby when the bed in happened.

I also used to think the the Dire Straits Money for nothing song was "Money for nothing and their cheques for free"

What are your more embarrassing lyric mix ups?

I am a shocker for singing the wrong words. Some all time "classics" include:

"The lift goes up where we belong, where the eagles fly, on our mountain high"

"Oh how could I - forget you girl? When there is always someone here to remind me?"

"I come from land down under, where women grow and men blunder..." And I thought it was about New Zealand...

Oh, I could go on and on.

With those lyrics it is about NZ . . .

I have a friend who though Elton John's 'Rocket Man' was actually 'Rocky Mountain Man' and had all the lyrics worked out and misconstrued to be about man from Colorado.

My brother, it doesn't matter which one, OK it was Keith -- spent the first 30 years of his life believing that God's 'given' name was Howard because in the Lord's Prayer is clearly states: '...Howard be thy name."

Love it MHB.

Wait til I tell my brother in law (yep, you guessed it, Howard) that one...perhaps it should go in his Christmas cracker...hmmm

I used to think Jimi was singing "'scuse me while I kiss this guy"

What about back masking music? It really is fascinating...
