    Brother is home from Australia and we're driving in the car yesterday. Radio ad comes on asking you to sponsor a child in need.
    Having never heard the ad in question and with excellent aural abilities he pipes up.. why would anyone want to sponsor a child in meath.

    Let's have them...

    One of the Polish lads at work heard some Britney Spears song where she says "Do you want a piece of me.".

    He turns to me and says "Did she just say, do you want to piss on me?".

    It took me about 10 minutes to answer his question I was laughing that much.

    god that would have been a much better song:pac:

    I used to live with a polish guy and every time he went out drinking he would announce 'tonight I am going to piss myself!' (he meant get pissed)

    i was on a first date with this guy, he dropped me home and we were in his car outside my house, snogging and chatting in between.

    while we were chatting, i had my hand on his upper thigh area, and at one stage he yawned, so i said "you're wrecked". what he heard was "you're erect". his reply was something like "why did you say that" and i said "well, you were yawning"... there were a few seconds of confusion til we figured it out.

    I was going into a club in town after a fundrasier thing I was at. The bouncer asked where I was coming from and I said "A fundraiser. In Project" and he was like "what did you just call me??!"

    Turns out when I said "Project" he though I said "******".

    Once we established our miscommunication he was very nice about it. I imagine some would not take it so well!

    That new ****e song which i am googling... New in Town by Little Boots, little sister turns around in the car having misheard, 'i don't have a penny' as 'i dont have a fanny but i'll show you a good time' and proceeds to ask my dad, why would she need a fanny to show him a good time? What's a fanny?

    Next time you hear the song you will definitely hear it, i had to listen to the song twice before i realised she wasn't actually saying it!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 158 ✭✭annabellee77


    You know the BEP song Boom Boom Pow?

    One of the verses has....

    "...We gotta beat that pound,
    We gotta beat that 808..."

    When I heard it 1st I could've sworn the highlighted was.......an*l ra pe!!! :o:o:o

    Well I knew obviously that I had it wrong so listened again......still thought that was what it was......had to go google the lyrics.... :o:D

    me too...

    Is it just me or does it genuinely sound like lady gaga is singing "F*** F*** F*** F*** her face" on the second line of that chorus?

    http://www.kissthisguy.com/ has loads of them.
    "Blinded by the light. Lit up like a douche"

    my bro-in-law is an athiest, but was at a wedding mass recently.

    afterwards he told me he thought we were saying "pleased to meet you" at the sign of peace

    For a while I thought that Katie Perry song "waking up in Vegas" contained the lyric, "with me wearing your cock ring"

    Its class ring, and I'm sure they've changed the song to make it clearer.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,062 ✭✭✭DancingQueen:)


    I always thought in the song 'bullet proof' that the lyrcis were pulling through instead of bullet proof even though that's the name of the song:rolleyes:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 21,191 ✭✭✭✭Latchy


    And of course Simply Red are singing ' Holding back the Ears ' right ?

    I was convinced the chorus of that song was "Carickmines, Carrickmines" instead of "Can't read minds, can't read minds" I was thinking, Jesus they could surely think of a better place to sing about!

    Was listening to that song in the car one, "She moves in her own way."

    My was sure it was "I love Herbie 'cos she moves in her own way". Herbie being that talking car thing (who's meant to be male :/)

    A Eastern European guy came into the job one day started asking for a
    "Bassel" in a thick accent.. He said it about 5 times and i still hadn't a clue what he meant... i tot he meant Bassel Bush:P... Turns out he was looking a " Puzzle"... :pac::pac:

    If you say "bassel" to yourself in a thick Eastern European accent it does sound like "puzzle " ha

    My little nephew thinks she sings 'i wish i was a prawn cracker' instead of 'punk rocker'.

    My friend went on a first date with an Italian guy at the cinema. While choosing their movie, he looked around and commented on "all the black b@stards" in the cinema.

    Cue my friend's absolute horror and she attempts to get away, much to the confusion and hurt of the Italian guy.

    After much misunderstanding she realises he'd been complaining about "all the blockbusters"...

    :)
