Replacement words for songs

[Howmanheyman 37056]

The missus just playing 'how deep is your love?' by the bee gees on her phone. I always swap 'love' for 'throat'. 

 

Whenever I hear 'song for whoever' by the beautiful south we'd always swap 'pencil case' with 'can of ace' and surely everyone swapped Desmond Dekkers 'woooaaah, the Israelites' with 'woooaaahh, the mackems are shite'? We did on the juke box at my local. We also did the same to Otis Redding's 'Dock of the bay' by changing '... I left my home in Georgia, headed for the 'Frisco bay' to the more acceptable '.... I left my home in Walker, headed for the Whitley Bay' on the same juke box when we were pissed.

 

Anyone else have a few examples?

I know a lass who thought the line in Bigmouth Strikes Again was …..mash a beetroot in your head instead of …..smash every tooth in your head. 
Genuinely prefer her version

Also, my dad always goes with ‘no fish cake, no pie’ instead of ‘no woman, no cry’. Maybe it’s a Walker thing?

Atomic Kitten’s one hit- “ You can take my hole again”. 
 

 

Do I win £5?

For years I thought George Michael was singing about a semi frontier in last Christmas.

I did 'You can lick my hole again.'

Apparently bananarama sang 'guilty as a girl can be' but to paraphrase catchphrase I said what I heard and sang 'guilty as a drunken bee' because that's what the bitches were actually saying as far as my ears could tell?

The chorus of “ I Don’t Want to Talk About It “ by Rod Stewart does this perfectly. 

I don't wanna talk about it
How you broke my arse
If I stay here just a little bit longer
If I stay here, won't you listen to my arse?
Oh, my arse…
