.......................................................happily sang along to a song and had someone say "do you know what that song's about"? I do it all the time to the delight of my family:))

Sue xx

No, but I've winced when my little girl sang a few, and handed her the sound of music quick to change the mood

and on a similar vein

I've had to explain to my mum once that the birthday card she was picking out for her friend at church, really really wasn't appropriate. She didn't get the joke at all (which sadly I can't repeat or I'll be off on holiday)

Maria I'm the mum who looks blank when my adult children tell jokes I don't quite get...until 10 minutes later:))

Sue xx

I'm always singing but sadly........... Very badly!! Lol

And, I never know what the songs mean!!

I remember my mum saying very loudly that someone was a ... well, she used a swear word, lol.... we were horrified, but secretly hysterically mirthful, lolol

Oh, and songs? Yep.... It would seem that most of the Beatle's songs are double entendre'd, lol... Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds... my lovely niece finds it so funny that I love such a degenerate group, lol

Desmond Decker and the Aces had one, I remember..... I was oblivious to the meaning of the lyrics until I was in my 40's.... they are obvious, really, but it just never occurred to me... I am such a thicko, lol

Love

Daff xxxxx

Many times SueMaid.......many many times.......and sometimes happily getting the words wrong too.....

Just read about Desmond Decker........now I sing....

Wake up in the morning,
same thing for breakfast,
waiting there for mouths to be fed....

now yes, I know it is wrong, but I am going to google the lyrics to see what I should be singing.....

Sally that's the funniest thing - when you get the words wrong. Or better still when someone else does:)))

Sue xx

OK......this is what it should be....


Get up in the morning, slaving for bread, sir,
so that every mouth can be fed.
Poor me, the Israelite. Aah.

Get up in the morning, slaving for bread, sir,
So that every mouth can be fed.
Poor me, the Israelite. Aah.

My wife and my kids, they are packed up and leave me.
Darling, she said, I was yours to be seen.
Poor me, the Israelite. Aah.

Shirt them a-tear up, trousers are gone.
I don't want to end up like Bonnie and Clyde.
Poor me, the Israelite. Aah.

After a storm there must be a calm.
They catch me in the farm. You sound the alarm.
Poor me, the Israelite. Aah.

Poor me, the Israelite.
I wonder who I'm working for.
Poor me, Israelite,
I look a-down and out, sir.



Oh dear, done it again........and yes SueMaid, it does sound funny.....

There was something on the telly over the weekend about this foreign lady who went onto a Talent show and sang what she heard.......she couldn't speak English, so just sang what it sounded like to her.......it was so funny they put it on You Tube........wish I could remember what it was.......but she got so many hits and is always being asked to sing the song.....

sally

Sally here it is - you numpty:))

Get up in the morning, slaving for bread, sir
So that every mouth can be fed
Poor me, the Israelite.
