RBWells,

I was driving one day, in the early 1990s, singing along with Elton John, “love I feel it in my hands, I can tell by the things I could do with another man…” as I had since I was a little kid, when I suddenly realized that probably wasn’t what he was saying. It still sounds like that is what he is saying.

I see quite a lot of Elton John in these answers, maybe he just didn’t enunciate.

One I heard was “scuse me while I kiss this guy”

Autocorrect on my comment. This is correct.

Working with guys who’s 1st language isn’t English singing “Take me to Monkey Town”, instead of “Take me to Funky Town.”

Brimful of Asha by Cornershop.

The title and the lyric are both “brimful of Asha”, which has a double meaning. In the singer’s native language ‘Asha’ means hope, and is also the name of an iconic Bollywood singer/dancer.

What I heard was “grim poodle basher”. Obviously it wasn’t right, but I couldn’t figure out the actual words just by listening harder.
