Was playing a gig on Sunday and someone asked if we knew "Michael's Mad At Me" by Madness.
There's a tiny, tiny hopeful part of me that says you guys are running a Kaufmanesque long con on the board

Surely they meant Michael Caine's Mad At Me.

Listening to "Raw Ramp" by T. Rex with a nurse friend:
Actual lyrics: "Oh woman, I love your chests ooh, baby, I'm crazy 'bout your breasts.."
She heard: "Oh woman, I love your chest tube baby, I'm crazy 'bout your breasts"

Oh many but for now, just off the top of my head
Smithers-Jones - The Jam
Actual: The clock on the wall hasn't yet struck 9
Misheard: The clock on the wall has an extra 9
Assumed it meant something I couldn't comprehend. I always assumed it meant something clever and when I finally realised it was wrong it was one of those, "oh yeah, that makes sense" moments.

I always thought it was that line as well! Like a kind of surreal clock that has extra numbers if you get to work early enough.BitterTom wrote:Oh many but for now, just off the top of my head

Another Jam one from Strange Town:
Me: I bought from the natives a guide book.
Weller: I bought an A to Z guide book.
