"My love has got no money, He's got his TROMBOLIES":D

Did EVERYBODY not think those were the lyrics?:D

Even though I know the real lyrics now, I still sing "Trombolies";)

We were about 8/9 ish when "Feed the World" was number one.

My friend used to sing "Feed the worms" so I thought they were the words:o

Also a friend of mine thought the lyrics to "Rhythm of the night" were......

"She's got a ladder in her tights, oh yeah.........
A ladder in her tights"

The whole song is filth. T'was actually written about the summer of 'soixante neuf'... BA said so himself. Catchy tune though.

First time I realised I was stupid was early on in school. We were forced to sing happy birthday to classmates regardless of whether you liked the spa or not or whether your voice was broken amongst the girly boys :rolleyes:

Anyway that other song which comes after, whatever its name is, goes something like "he's a jolly good fellow, he's a jolly good fellow, and so say all of us" etc. I thought t'was French for years and while everyone else was singing those words I was singing "Hesa joliku felu, hesa joliku felu, and su-say all a vus" hadn't a notion what was going on.

In Paul McCartney's Hope of Deliverance, when he sings the line "Hope of Deliverance", it sounds like "Hau auf die Leberwurst" to me - which is German for "Punch the liver sausage".

Not what good old Paul intended, if you ask me.

Man, this is old, but the best ever from those guys was...

Zig: "Have you heard the song about the girl working in the Bisto factory...?"
Zag: "No, tell me more!"

Cue "She Drives Me Crazy" by Fine Young Cannibals, with a chorus of...

"She DRIES MEAT GRAVY".

Da wid da da woe = "you're the one that I want" (?) from Grease

Also, "and the blue sets the floor" = "and I'm losing control" also from that song from Grease.

Even worse, I sold the words of that song written down on paper to a friend for a chocolate bar and she too then used sing those words.

Hope this clip works. Fingers crossed....

The song "free from desire" where she sings "My lover's got no money, he's got his strong beliefs"

I heard "My lovers got no money, he got his trumbliece"

For years I couldn't figure out what a trumbliece was.
