“Well you’re where you should be all the time
And when you’re not, you’re with
Some underworld spy
Or the wife of a postman, wife of a postman”

Des ‘ree, ‘Life’:

‘I don't want to see a ghost
It's a sight that I fear most
I'd rather have a piece of toast’

Oh hang on, they’re the actual lyrics.

Carly Simon - You’re So Vain

“Well you’re where you should be all the time
And when you’re not, you’re with
Some underworld spy
Or the wife of a postman, wife of a postman”

Your hat strategically dipped below one eye
Your scar plate was African

That was my " version " till last year when I finally looked it up and saw " your Scarf it was Apricot"

I could fill a book with such " gems " like that , irrational and completely wrong

I said previously , I've got hundreds. I often sit in Car when Mrs Wolfie nips in shop for "one or two bits" and listed to Radio with Google ready to get lyrics of whatever comes on

You took a vegetable and put me on it was a beauty but I still sing that anyway

I notice there's been one or two ABBA inclusions in this thread. I wonder if their often-misheard lyrics were down to them playing their instruments extremely loudly.

They played at Bentley Park once and you could hear the drums from Nando's.

 I had a girlfriend that i heard singing along to When i'm sixty four, she was singing When i'm six feet four, and it took some convincing that she was hearing it wrong.

Monkees' Daydream Believer:

"Oh how could I beat the wings
Of the Bluebird as she sings"

40 years I was singing that before I found out the correct words.
And I still sing the wrong ones.

My wife was a natural talent for Mondegreens - the best of the lot was 'the warm smell of policemen' from Hotel California. Belfast girls must have a thing about policemen.

BTW, love the word Mondegreen and the story behind it (from 'the Bonnie Earl o' Moray'). I used to call them 'illyrics' until I discovered that word.

Showing my age, but I think it was the Dave Clark Five with Glad All Over. I used to sing “take your clothes off now” for “because we’re close now”.

Not exactly a mis-heard song lyric but this thread brings a smile to my face for a similar reason.

I started bringing my youngest daughter to the Rovers when she was just four years old. I bought her a season ticket which I renewed every season until this one when she turned 18.

We live a 2 hour drive from Donny so on the journey home after the match I would put Radio Sheffield on the car radio.

As soon as we started the journey my daughter would say “put Raisin Crumble on Dad”

Story about taking my wife to her first match during our Championship years. She really enjoyed the atmosphere, but at half-time she said to me 'What was all the trouble behind us? Why were the calling for the Police all the time?

I had to explain there were two 'p's in Copps  :lol:

I was at a Rovers game with our lass once. I was reading the team line-up on my phone when she said "What are you looking so thoughtful about?"
I said, "Coppingers back."
She said, "How's he done that?"
I said, "How's he done what?"
She said, How's he injured his back?"

I'm not convinced whether that story was true or something I'd dreamt up years ago, but dead vivid it was.
