Song lyrics you thought you heard and sang

[Norman_Conquest]

I was listening to Pauline Black on Spotify and as it does when an album finishes it started playing random songs from that genre and The Israelites by Desmond Decker came on. Now I’ve always sang:

‘Get up in the morning, slaving for breakfast,
So that every mouth can be fed
Poor me Israelite’

when the words are:

Get up in the morning, slaving for bread, sir
So that every mouth can be fed
Poor me Israelite

I am sure I've sung the wrong words too many songs but which one sticks out for you?

 

[TeessideCleveland]

Police - So Lonely (Sue Lawley)
Billy Ocean - Going Gets Tough (Go And Get Stuffed)

 

[HarryVegas]

Shared this one before but in one part of Diana Ross' Chain Reaction I'd swear she sings "Tell Eddie Waring there is no salvation".

My party foods too delicious for you babe...

I've just played it and you can't help but hear Eddie Waring now.

Macy Gray, I try

My world crumbles when you are not near
What my brain heard

I wore goggles when you are not here

Every time you go away
You take a piece of meat with you

Same as the Israelites advert, I give you The Skids...It's absolutely unintelligible Jobbo
