My wife swears that the first few times she heard a certain Bryan Adams song she thought he was singing 'I got my first real sex dream....' Liam

I seem to remember my first boyfriends mum singing Brimful of Asha "Everybody needs a good STRAW pillow"

This is so BAD, (sorry, hehe) but for years, my husband would sing the lines to Hall and Oates, "Kiss on My Lips" as, 'because your piss, your piss is on my lips, because your piss, your piss I can't resist, because your piss is on my lips when I turn out the lights. "Of course, it wasn't misunderstood on his part, he was just being naughty. (and gross)

Many years ago, when we first got married, my wife and I were out at this 60's dance club in Philly called The Heartthrob Cafe. I'm not sure if it's still there in that form, but it was all decorated in 60's style and they played only 60's songs.While dancing to a classic Beatles song, I had my wife convinced that the lyrics were:"I'll never dance with your mother.... ooooh.... With your father standing there". Casey
