What are yours? I have so many! Lets start with Bowies Soul love 'Inspirations I have none, just a touch of flaming dung', now I'm sure the latter part of that sentence I misheard? Can someone correct me? Hang on, just realised I could look at the lyrics which are printed on the inner sleeve, after 30 years that's only just come to me.

The obvious ones:
Bryan Adams, run to you - “‘Cause When the ceilings dry”
Queen, one vision - “Gimmie gimmie fried chicken”.

Kenny Rogers:

You picked a fine time to leave me loose wheel, four hundred children...

Michael Jackson Black or White: I ain't scared of no buffalo, I ain't scared of no sheep...

The recent hit "Baby" by Clean Bandit featuring Marina and Luis Fonsi - the actual line is "I'm already someone else's baby" but my son thought it was "I'm already someone else's baked bean"! Suffice to say it will always be baked bean from now on in our house!

'Bless my cotton socks, I'm in the nude' (The Teardrop Explodes 'Reward')

'And you read your Emily Dickinson, and eye my Robert Frost' (Simon and Garfunkel 'Bookends')

Living on a Prayer - Bon Jovi - Living on a Chair.

There is another song, lyric is, 'when the need arises take a stand', but it sounds like 'when the needle rises take a stand'. I can't recall who the artist is, rock band I think.

I was 5 when Carpenter's Calling Occupants was on the radio all the time. I was sure they were saying calling octopus. Not really close I was just very small at the time!

Some obvious ones are:

Jimi Hendrix - "'scuse me while I kiss this guy" (rather than "'scuse me while I kiss the sky")

The Jam - "Eating trifles" (for "Eaton rifles")

The Police - "Sue Lawley" (instead of "So lonely")

John Martin - "Walking on sausages" (a result of Martin slurring the words "Walking on solid air")

Meghan Trainor: "It's all about the bass, no treble"

Has always sounded to me as "It's all about the bass, no gerbil(s)".
