Has there ever been a misheard lyrics confessions thread? I searched but didn't see one ...
Back in the 90s, my friend's mum thought 'Insane in the Brain' by Cypress Hill went like this:
Hold hands, it's the membrane
Hold hands, it's the brain!
She used to sing along whenever it came on the car radio. I have to say it made the song much cheerier.

I once wandered into a 'psychic fair' being held in town and had a reading just for the hell of it ... it was an odd experience. The woman did say some things that were really close to home, including one thing about my parents that surprised me so much I actually started to cry! so, probably gave quite a bit away there ...
She recorded the whole thing on a cassette and gave it to me, so I played it later on when I'd calmed down (while doing the ironing). Listening back, I got the impression that she was basically a very, very observant woman, drawing sometimes spookily accurate conclusions from whatever signals, subconscious or otherwise, I was giving out. Which may not have been supernatural as such, but was still an interesting and illuminating experience. Sometimes you need a fresh eye on things, you know?
I'm still generally a skeptic, but still, I reckon I got something out of it & would maybe try again.
But 'Most Haunted' is really unconvincing!

Yeah, well, I wondered if there really might be two songs, and looking online I see that as you say, there are ... but the song that was played was definitely Voodoo Chile with an e. It had the lyrics about the moon turning red etc.
But regardless of which one it was ... neither is pronounced 'chilli', right?
:giggle:
I'm sorry if this seems ridiculously pedantic. It is only because it was Jeremy P being supercilious and yet so wrong. And he is so scathing when other people have gaps in their cultural literacy. ha!

So, I was just watching University Challenge, and ...
Anyway, I was watching it and I'm sure Paxman made a really funny mistake. But it was so bad that I kind of can't believe it, & I'm wondering if anyone else saw it too. They played a bit of Jimi Hendrix's 'Voodoo Chile' and the contestant identified it correctly (pronouncing it like 'child', as you do). But Paxman stopped him and said snootily, 'No, actually, it's Voodoo Chilli , which is a different track,' and didn't give him the points.
Is it just me, or is that the kind of really basic mistake that your mum makes, and then everyone teases her about it? And if so, how on earth did it end up being broadcast?
Not that I'm perfect ... I thought 'Poppa Don't Preach' was about poppadums for a long, long time

This reminds me of an article I saw in the paper today about a guy who met a woman at a party, sent her an over-the-top email two days later, and is now famous for his bad chat-up techniques because she forwarded the mail to her sister and it's now all over the world.
Email is SO not the way to go in these situations unless you are really amazingly great at expressing yourself in writing, which this poster, bless 'im, doesn't really seem to be ...

Just wondering how it went at the opening night of the new (& the only) club in Edinburgh - which was Saturday, I think. People were saying in the chatrooms a few weeks back that it was likely to be really busy, so can anyone who was there tell me what they thought?
I've never been to any club, anywhere, so I'm hoping for details ... thanks!

Not sure about anyone else, but to me that sounds like a bad prospect for a meet - guys out on the town in a pack, drinking ... it just doesn't sound particularly safe. You may all be extremely nice but still, a girl would have to be a bit reckless to take you up on that offer I think (and I am not an overly cautious or shy type).
Maybe I'm wrong, maybe you'll get lucky but I think you might be barking up the wrong tree ... all the best to you though. Anyway, you're firefighters, right? Since when do you need to advertise?
