    Is it "to make a pro blush?" I never could get what she was saying.

    I thought the new Katy Perry song was "Turn it up it's your favourite song. Dance , dance , dance to the disco drum". My mind was blown to realise "disco drum" is actually "distortion"

    So weird, I was just listening to that the other day on the radio and laughing to myself while singing 'to make a crow blush' :-D
    tbh I don't even want to know what the real words are now as I always get a laugh out of the wrong ones!

    I always thought that was, "Farmer... I know you don't really fúcking care... lick your bum bum there. A wibbly wobbly wibbly wobbly wibbly wobbly wibbly wobbly wonder... lick your bum bum there." Something about farmers licking ice pops and arses.

    From Sam Cooke - Don't Know Much About History
    My ex thought "Don't know what a slide rule is for" was "Don't know what its like or who its for"

    Mind you, she probably doesn't know what a slide rule is. Or what its for.

    I must have been under 10 and thought it was a great song to sing out playing in the garden, going shopping with my mum and walking down the road. The looks that I got! I doesn't help that my accent made it sound like "haw-ney" :D

    The average Irish 7 year old not have a great knowledge of American 50s cars, heard the following :

    "And she'll have fun fun fun
    Til her daddy takes her tee shirt away."

    Even then, I knew there was something not quite right about it.
