Mondegreens ...

Peter Kay and some good Mondegreens ....

[roopower]

Very funny. His timing is great.

I love that clip, Dave. It reminds us just what a good actor he is.

There have been loads of classic Mondegreens.
The one I can't escape from is from Chaka Khan's..............
"...climb every woman..."

Always appeals to me ;o)

He’s been telling the same ‘misheard lyrics’ jokes for at least 25 years. I saw him in a small club in leeds that long ago and he did the ‘staple the vicar’ and other such gags back then.

Until I met Dave I wondered why Albert Hammond gave up so much for music and a free electric fan....

[The Builder]

Great song that, Gness. Although I don't think I'll ever hear it the same way again now ;o(

[dannyk13]

Thanks for that Dave.

[sunny-dave]

Oh ... Oh ... me ears are alight ...

I played it lots, Builder.....a great song to sing along with too.
You should have seen Dave's face when I asked him why an electric fan was so important.

[gness]

Great, Mamya...especially getting the answer to Have You Seen Lorraine!

[The Builder]

You've made me go and look up the lyrics now Gness.
There's a line in the second verse that says.........

"I went to school in ********shire, with neatly ordered hair."
I've always thought this was a reference to a little known county until............

"I went to school in handwashed shirts etc etc.

Thank you so much ;o)))

There’s a bloke on Facebook / YouTube called stevie ricks who does v funny impersonations with mishear lyrics:

[gness]

We'll have a whole new song between us, Builder!!

[sunny-dave]

Thanks Zacs - very good :+)

The thing that makes this clip even funnier, is that once Peter Kay has told you what you are about to hear, that's exactly what you do hear. Even if you know the correct lyrics.
I've previously said on here that when i first began singing along to Dylan's 'Lay Lay Lady', i had convinced myself he was following those 3 words up with, "Lay across my big brown spade." I never really wondered why it didn't make any sense - i just thought it was Dylan being Dylan :-) Of course, when it was pointed out to me what he was really singing, that made much more sense.

[gness]

Exactly, Ken. Then you can never unhear them!

I missed those, Mamya...some good ones there but it's put me off Piña Colada.... :-)
