Friday is 80’s music day in the office, gets us all in a good mood, bopping and singing along… ‘Our Lips are Sealed’ comes on and I share with my fellow colleagues… This is embarrassing, but for soooo long I thought the lyrics were ‘Alex the Seal’. I’m on the receiving end of a ‘you’re so weird’ glare and they back off slowly…
Well, what would they say if I shared my other misheard lyrics? Michael Jackson’s song ‘Wanna Be Startin’ Somethin’’ what does he say in the chorus – it can not be ‘You're A Vegetable’ that’s what I hear, that’s what I sing along to, that’s what I google, it can’t be!?!?
Then there’s my ol’ time favourite sing-wrong-song ‘We built this city on… Sausage Rolls!’ What ever happened to Starship?

How bizarre!!! But then again, have we ever heard the song while we're together?
You didn't really think that was the lyric, did you Natalie??!!!
You might like to have a look at this website - http://www.kissthisguy.com. Lots of other classic misheard lyrics in there!
As for Starship... hmmm... mercifully they have flown away to another planet. But not before leaving us with such timeless and poignant lyrics as "Marconi plays the Mamba".
Maybe we just lost the beat...

Bobby Brown's 'My Perogative':
there's one place where I swore he said 'Beetlejuice is not my thang'... but he really said 'Ego trips is not my thang'
GB - I really did! Up until Hillary Duff released her version a couple years ago *blush*
Cibby - I loved beetlejuice, beetlejuice, beetlejuice, when i was growing up :-P
