When Men at Work sang "Land down Under" I always thought (still stubbornly believe it to this day) that they mentioned a Bitumen Sandwich, apparently it's a Vegemite Sandwich.

Silly me :o)

I've been told by my daughter that the Pussycat Dolls latest song says 'Want to have Groupies' and very definitely isn't 'Want to have Boobies' like I thought!

i once spent an entire journey to devon singing " because it's jelly jelly jelly jalapo!" i don't know the title of the song but i think the words i was actaully looking for is 'because it really really really could happen'. perhaps a blur/oasis song!

oh and i also thought that i want to be your teddy bear said i want to be your taliban for a few months- thought it was slightly odd that elvis would be singing about the taliban! WHOOPS!

last week in a charity shop I saw a cotton bag and read the label prune stones. It took about a minute for me to realise it said rune stones. When I was young I used to sing to the aria form Figaro motor car motor car, why I don't know. Elaine.
