"The song then becomes Grilling In The Name Of, obviously"

Sleep Now In The Fryer is a good tune too.

"Bill Oddie,
Bill Oddie,
Put your hands all over my body."

As Madonna had it in her confusingly titled "Erotica" single.

'Can't we wake Tom Baker up?'

I heard that one as Calling Cheryl Baker myself!

>>I've just found out that the Kaiser Cheifs were singing "I predict a riot". And I thought the lyric was much better, when I thought they were singing "I've got Tourettes".

You thought that too! Thank God. I thought I was the only one.

Me too, but I had it as the peculiarly unfortunate "actor with Tourette's"...

I will never be able to think about Madonna, Erotic or Bill Oddie in the same way again

Fields of the Nephilim - Chord of Souls

"The Preacher says to all his men: I hear Godly laughter
Can it be the end?
With eyes on fire, couldn't be so cold
I hear Godly laughter, let it be the end
Let it be the end
Well I hate your conscience, Let's skip this world
I hate
your Gods people who breed on earth {I hate your God he put me/
Over to the other side, I'm caught stepping out
greed on earth}
Over to the other side, Save your brothers now
Let it be the end
ARSE, ARSE, ARSE, ARSE!"

Pretty tame ones here, I thought that Dave Gahan was singing "Reach out and touch me" instead of "reach out and touch faith" in Personal Jesus.

Plus there was some 90s pop song (I think it was Michelle Gayle) where the "Shoops" sounded like "Shits".

Shed Seven-Bully Boy

Mikey hears "You knocked me off my feet and I felt things burst on the concrete"

Song says-"I fell face first on the concrete"

But consider the Cocteau Twins-Mikey hears "gabble yip tv bicycle"

Song says "gabble yip tv bicycle"

Here's one from a very long time ago that I've only just remembered:

One of my mates told me that when he was growing up they used to sing a hymn in their local church, and there was a line that about carrying the cross for Jesus in order to alleviate his burden. The line was: "Gladly, the cross I'd bear."

My mate thought they were singing a song about a teddy-bear that had something wrong this its eyes... You can just picture it as a cartoon for toddlers: "Hey kids! It's time for... Gladly the Cross-eyed Bear!"

Blur's 'Song 2', I heard as:

I got my head checked
By a trebuchet

which makes about as much sense as the actual words

I got my head shaved
By a jumbo jet
