Woolly

Only Nephilim track I know is 'Chord of Souls', and the chorus just sounds like someone shouting ARSE repeatedly.

Fucking great tune also!

"Onion-y un-loneliness" from Manic Street Preachers' Motorcycle Emptiness, because radio speakers were rubbish in the olden days. No - I don't know what I imagined it meant either. JDB has to mangle syntax and disregard scansion just to accommodate Edwards/Wire lyrics, so you could probably find dozens of examples from any single MSP record.

So true - but at least they print their lyrics!

'She'll tease you / She'll unease you / hog the bathtub just to please you.'

I defy you to ever hear it as anything else in future.
"Men will never be free until the last king is strangled with the entrails of the last priest"

When I first heart that hilarious/awesome overplayed song Bodies by Drowing Pool, I did not know they were saying "let the bodies hit the floor".

I had no idea, but it sounded something like "Let the body system go! Let the body system go!". Well, that's my story.

'Constant Craving' by k.d. lang:

Maybe a great magnet pulls/Arseholes towards truth . . .
Not sure if pervert or cheesecake expert.

Most stuff by John Michael Osbourne  :D

Andy Lambert

Outkast: "Hey Ya"

Actual lyrics:
Shake it, shake, shake it, shake it (oh oh)
Shake it, shake it, shake, shake it, shake it, shake it (oh oh)
Shake it, shake it like a Polaroid picture, shake it, shake it

What I heard:
Shake it, shake, shake it, shake it (oh oh)
Shake it, shake it, shake, shake it, shake it, shake it (oh oh)
Shake it, shake it like a polar bear ninja, shake it, shake it

Listening to P.J Harvey's No Child Of Mine.

She sings "I have no time for hate or love"

I heard "I have no time for anal love"  :o
Dumb all over, a little ugly on the side.

'Vibeology' by Paula Abdul.

Tony Hart gets namechecked twice. In the official music video, at 0.41 and 1.38.
Not sure if pervert or cheesecake expert.

So he does!  Maybe she was angling to be the replacement for 'Cavatina'.

Mirror in the Bathroom by The Beat. To my mind, it still sounds that they're using a racist epithet starting with N. As in 'N in the bathroom, please talk free'

"Pink Sunshine" (0:32) by Fuzzbox:

'No Gucci haemorrhoids and no catch-me romeos . . .'

After 20 odd years of owning and liking This Charming Man, I find that it's not 'a jumped-up country boy' after all.
