We all know that Freddie had a "devil for a sideboard", and that Abba "called you last night from Tesco", but sometimes it can be fun to mess with lyrics yourself, but at your own peril.
While listening to Mika's Grace Kelly (it's my daughters, ok?) I sang "I try to be like Ruth Kelly..."
Trouble is, it's completely stuck! I can't get the proper lyric back.
Anyone else done this...?

I always wondered why Rosemary combed her hair and took a cabbage into town, in Bob Dylan's "Lily, Rosemary and the Jack of Hearts".

Me and collegue spend the day singing loud famous pop tunes using dirty words.
The best of the worst.
But they are in italian and hard to translate.
Good fun btw.

in the Moody Blues' "Bless The Wings", I heard
"In a far-off wonderland, that flashes past my eyes" as
"In a far-off wonderland, the Fascists passed my eyes"
...made me wonder a bit about Justin's politics.
Creedence Clearwater's "Bad Moon Rising", handy info when you're in a bar:
"Don't go down tonight, it's bound to take your life;
There's a bathroom on the right..."

Instead of "My baby takes the morning train" I thought Sheena Easton's song was "My baby wears a ball and chain"
