Songs you always sing the wrong words to...

[Slave To The Viking]

Don't go around tonight,
Well it's bound to take your life
The-e-e-e-re's a bathroom on the right

[Slave To The Viking]

"Fascination" by Alphabeat is now and always has been "Vaccination", since waaaay before Covid.

"You pull the trigger on my Spud Gun" always seemed a bit off piste for Kiss, but it's quite memorable, for all that.

And of course, as Bon Scott once hungrily opined, "It's a long way to the shop, if you wanna sausage roll".

[Mr Larrington]

Yesterday DJ Random played Janis Joplin singing "Me & Bobby McGee".  I'm afraid I substituted the word "sell" for "lose" in the line "Freedom's just another word for nothing left to...", because of Billy Bragg's "Marching Song Of The Covert Battalions".

And when Janis sings “In all kinds of weather…” then, thanks to the Bonzos, the next line is “We'll rhino together”, while the whole song is now “Me & Bradley McGee” following an anecdote from TV's Super D Millar during this year’s Tour.

National Anthem:-

Just been to our village Remembrance Day parade.  Fabulous turnout and great music from our local brass band (we are lucky to have a "top section" outfit).  I made an almost imperceptible change to the first two lines of a verse (my change comes second each time);-

"Thy/Her choicest gifts in store
On Her/Us be pleased to pour"

I say "imperceptible" - but it was noticed (and appreciated) by some!

Occurs to me that this must the one of the earliest examples of the deadly "in store".

Dancing Queen

Your adhesive will turn them on…

[Slave To The Viking]

Whoa-oa, here she comes,
Watch out boy - she'll warm you up;
Whoa-oa, here she comes,
She's a fan heater.

  Have you seen any of Daryl Hall's clips on you tube?  He gets some really good people together, with a terrific drummer.  I think the series is called Daryl's House.

[T42]

...And there we stood talking of days that are gone
While the whale population of London looked on...

Silly chao. Cheaper to stick to Shanks' pony.

Catch the wind -  Donovan

I always thought it was :-

In the chilly autumn mist.....

In the chilly hours and minutes
Of uncertainty, I want to be
In the warm hold of your loving mind

What should it be, wormhole?

Have we had "I will go down with the shit" by Dildo?

[Mr Larrington]

Have we had "I will go down with the shit" by Dildo?

And somewhat related, The Stranglers' “Toilet On The Sea”.

[Legs]

It's just, a little thrush,
Feels like an itch,
Every time we touch...

[T42]

A French one, and almost topical at that:

Je l'aime à mourir ==> Je l'aide à mourir.

[Snakehips]

Русский иди нахуй   instead of  We Will We Will Rock You , since the early part of last year, anyway.

Daryl's House is a fine thing, well worth looking up on Youtube.

Breaking The Law Raking The Lawn - Judas Priest

And the 1993 Comic Relief version of Bohemian Rhapsody still springs to mind:

"I see a little chicken tikka on the side, Rogan Josh, Rogan Josh
pass the chutney made of mango.
Vindaloo does nicely
Very very spicey
ME!"

Just this minute found out that the words to Psycho Killer that I've always heard as Realisant mon espoir, je me lance vers tes bras, are actually Realisant mon espoir, je me lance vers la gloire.

Which is more in keeping. But hey it's never too late to catch up and it hasn't even been 40 years since I first heard it.

As I slogged up Charlaw Fell this morning I was deeply concerned that the funk-soul-classic lady singing was in misery, the refrain over the cheery brass section being a reiteration that 'I don't wanna di-ie'.

I've just looked it up.

I Don't Wanna D...ance by Eddie Grant would do it, too!
