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.
EvilTwin, There’s a bathroom on the right.
waz, Baking Carrot Biscuits != Taking Care of Business
cheese_greater, Loled
someguy3, I just can’t understand 90% of lyrics.
cheese_greater, Im a big “subtitle” guy so I hear you 🧐
blazeknave, One of the earliest websites I remember was like scuse me while I miss this guy dot com and it was people sharing what you’re looking for. Check the way back machine
someguy3, One I heard was “scuse me while I kiss this guy”
blazeknave, Autocorrect on my comment. This is correct.
CheeseChief, Working with guys who’s 1st language isn’t English singing “Take me to Monkey Town”, instead of “Take me to Funky Town.”
rbhfd, If you like peeing on koalas and getting caught in the rain
2piradians, CUT MY LIFE INTO PIZZAS
dirtySourdough, THIS IS MY PLASTIC FORK
Steak, BACON STRIPS, AND EXTRA CHEESE PLEASE
SgtAStrawberry, There be a hot tub in the town of Berlin .
spittingimage, 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.
