But I thought those WERE the words

The whole US National Anthem.

I‘ll save you the effort and summarise it such: “phew, this fort didn‘t get burnt down, like the White House, after we tried to invade Canada and got our ■■■■ whipped by them, the indians, and some poms”.

“Every single women is the devil inside” – I always wondered why INXS copped no flack over that.

I honestly thought that is what it said! :ph34r:

 

It was.

You have to understand it was a simpler, more racist time.

Actually that new one "Pompeii" by Bastille, I thought it was :

 

"and the Wolfcat rumbling down through the city where we live"

 

Its

 

"And the walls keep tumbling down in the city where we love"

That's what the original rhyme was. It's been made pc.

My two young godsons were taught this version at school.

 

Eeny, meeny, miny, moe,

Catch a tiger by the toe.

If he hollers, let him go,

Eeny, meeny, miny, moe.

When I was about 5yo I was on holidays and was playing with a similar aged african american girl by the pool, within earshot of our mums.

 

This rhyme came up somehow, and I was saying "nicka" as in my mind that's how it went. I didn't know what a "nicka" was, I just assumed it was like a bug or something. Anyhow the little girl was adamant that it was 'tiger', and I was adamant that she was crazy as I would have known if it was  "tiger"... so I turned around to Mum and asked for confirmation that it was "nicka", to which mum replied, deadpan look on her face, "of course it's tiger" and wouldn't back me up.

 

It wasn't until in the car on the way home that Mum explained to me the big picture.

 

Edit: I should have put this in the "Thigs yer little'luns say" thread.

I thought that Bruno Mars song said "Well you sex text me to paradise". I've since been corrected but I like my version better.

I thought that Eskimo Joe, in their song titled Black Fingernails, Red Wine were singing "I don't understand the point of fingers".

I'm thrilled I'm not the only one. Megz still picks on me about singing that, at least once a week.

Fairly sure ive posted this in a similar thread before.

Mister Mister. “Kyrie”.

I was never quite sure why I needed a laser for the road that I must travel, but as a 12 year old Star Wars fanatic I was probably happy with the theme.

I was listening to Highway to Hell and my friend says, "I like this song, but I can't believe they got away with saying that" after the "Hey Satan, paid my dues" line.  

 

He seriously thought they were saying "Hey Satan, burn these Jews".  I don't think I've ever laughed so hard.

you'll soon be able to revert this when the new discrimination laws are passed.
