Cmon, Mr Loaf, you're needed in this thread:

"I'm gonna hit the highway like a battering ram
I'm a Cilla Black fan on bike."

Or maybe "On a silver black phantom bike". Think I prefer the first version...

 

[Pottsy]

How about "It's a hard egg, nothing but a hard egg" by Bonnie Tyler?

Also, "Feel Sue Lawley, feel Sue Lawley" by The Police (Feel so Lonely).

Erm, showing my age here I think.

I can remember* when that song came out and the news programme 'Nationwide' rang String up to ask him about the Sue Lawley lyric.
Humourless b#stard didn't think it was at all funny - what a cock!

*vague memory - hope details ok!

I thought he was called Sting? Or was he feeling a bit ropey that day?

Are we allowed to say 'what a c*ck' ?
He's a bloke, might be construed as sexist
How about humourless arse. Everyone has an arse.

It's allowed with String, he's in the Bonio camp so to speak.
Call him what you like - he's earned it!

There is a Queen song with a particularly repetitive lyric that (in our house) always sounds like our family name being called over and over.

Whenever it's on you can guess the result!!

Not much help without the song or lyric, but I guess I should at least "attempt" to maintain my virtual anonymity

 

[Theseus]

Is your name GaGa?

 

[abchandler]

Or are you the Champions?

Blinded by the light
wrapped up like a douche

Manfred Mann's Earth Band

According to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blinded_by_the_Light, the song may owe it's popularity to this mis-hearing.

Did you know that a mis-heard lyric is termed a "mondegreen" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mondegreen?

 

[Glow worm]

I used to like Eruption's - 'I can't stand Lorraine'.

And who can forget the worst lyric ever penned that frankly needs no mishearing - ABC's 'That Was Then' with the line 'can't complain, mustn't grumble Help yourself to another piece of apple crumble'.

 

[Rhythm Thief]

Or, if we're onto bad lyrics ... "I'm as serious as cancer / when I tell you that rhythm is a dancer".

 

[Happiness Stan]

"Can't Stand Gravey" by KD Lang
