In a facebook group, we are discussing how as children we had misunderstood some lines in songs and sung them in a funny way. Someone just shared that they used to hear and sing:

"Ground control to Mao Tse-Tung."

My son had a girlfriend who did the same when singing the song ‘Love is all around’ by Wet, Wet, Wet. When she came to the line “I feel it in my fingers, I feel it in my toes” she would always sing “I feel it in my fingers, I feel it in my nose,” much to my amusement.

When I was a child there was a popular song and in our family we always heard it as 'Oats in a Man'. I used to puzzle over this and didn't understand. Later, I came to learn that the song was 'O Sinner Man' (where ya gonna run to). I think it was by the New Christy Minstrals.

"My ears are alight!.....

Oh a tree in motion see it gently sway.... my version poetry in motion.

Oh, a tree in motion .......................

I had no 'Poetry' either but lots of trees in motion.

laughed at all of those, Dr Who's 'The Israelite' Desmond Dekker


And Poetry in motion by Johnny Tillotson


All together now, "Oooh oh, me ears are alight" ............. "see a tree in motion, see her gentle swa-aay"

And here are a few more to make you smile:
