Re: Misheard lyrics from songs.
One that even Richard Osman wouldn't have heard of is 'God Is High' by Welsh singer David Wrench. It's a melancholic song with solo piano and voice and no, it's not on Youtube so no link to post, but it goes something like 'there's too much peace in here, too much peace, it's all too quiet, but the Jewish girl is leaving me......'
I made contact with David on Twitter and quoted the lyrics, he said I misheard Jewish, the actual lyrics were 'the Judas girl'.
Ho-de-hum.

Re: Misheard lyrics from songs.
God Is High was featured on a various artists compilation (again, there were lots of those at the time) on the mainly Cymraeg Ankst record label (it was the only English language song on the album), 'Ap Elvis', 'O'r Gad'....was on one of them.

Last year I said about 'Our Holly bares her bottom', in the same song is 'Our Holly bears her bu-um'. Substitute the final letter of Christmas cheer.

It was always good fun at school singing 'jingle bowels, jingle bowels, jingle all the way' and (after discovering the meaning of the word on the grapevine) 'God rest you merry genital men'.

'They told me last night there were ships in the offy - not southern but Blow The Wind Southerly. In case you don't know, an 'offy' is British street slang for a shop that sells alcoholic beverages for consumption off the premises. Like 'Bargain Booze' or 'Thresher' sort of thing.Gill the Piano wrote:I thought it was 'southern' too!

It is 'Single Ladies', or ' Put A Ring On It', by Beyonce, pronounced 'bee-yon-say'. Apparently, cigarette is single lady. Off to put my head down the khazi:

I think someone needs to be told that Rod Stewart may well have been cool back in the day, but it's 2016 and he isn't cool any more.

Re: Misheard lyrics from songs.
The instore radio station is not all bad, we get the original version of They Don't Know (by Kirsty MacColl) that was famously covered by Tracey Ullman. That is played every other day.

Re: Misheard lyrics from songs.
If that means a two month respite from hearing that Rod Stewart song (and this other Elton John one that's played every day:Gill the Piano wrote:Come Christmas it'll be carols on a loop!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PZRClPsBXAU
then how I wish it could be Christmas every day, when the kids start singing and the band begins to play, etc.
What empty words they utter between what they perceive to be 'the songs we love' takes some beating, especially the two who are on in the morning whose names are Dan and Lindsay and whose existence as humanoid robots is a very credible point:
Hello Dan!
Helloooo there, Linz
well Dan, I bet you're glad you're not Ollie Murs?
OOh, what's he been up to then, Linz
weeelllll, he's only gone and....BLOWN HIS NOSE!!!!!
Its at times like this when I really wondered why I used to despise Derek Jameson in the mawnin' on Radio 2. 'well, what about that Gorbachev bloke eh, what d'ya fink of 'im then, eh?'

Re: Misheard lyrics from songs.
The instore radio station at the Co-Op, 'Co-Operative Radio'. But please don't let it put you off shopping there. It doesn't put me off working there...in fact they used to play the Stone Roses on there until their (presumed) PRS agreement ran out.Gill the Piano wrote:What station are they on? Mental note to avoid that one...
It is so bad, it's Brilliant. The ads they carry for their special offers and deals are very useful indeed.

Re: Misheard lyrics from songs.
Co-Operative Radio is nothing to do with the Co-Operative Group or any of the smaller Co-Op societies. It is produced by some retail music agency that may also produce automated 'radio stations' for other retailers - it's possible Dan and Lindsay could be regailing Next shoppers with their 'Radio Minus 1' drivel and cheap, unartistic, but sells a lot of copies music.
The sad thing about working on a Saturday morning is that I miss Record Review on Radio 3, thank goodness for BBC iPlayer.
