Desmond Decker's Israelites. The first line is:-
Get up in the morning slaving for bread sir.
I thought it was:-
Get up in the morning baked beans for breakfast.

I don't know the name of the song or artist but I always thought he was singing BO, as in body odor till someone told me differently

Could it be a song by Sammy Davis Jr. in the original 'Oceans Eleven' movie?

I hear it on the radio but the station I listen to doesn't let you know the name of the song or artist. The BO part sounds like the chorus and the O part changes key. BO or whatever it
is is sung 4 times in a row.

The song I’d Really Like To See you To You Tonight. The line “I’m not talking about moving in” I though for a number of years was “I am not talking about the linens”. I know it never made sense to me either but that is what I thought they were saying.

Can you give us some words of the song, or part of the chorus

Wait: Could it be Every Little Thing She Does is Magic by the Police?

Maybe that's the same song that I think they're saying "piojo" :lol:. I've never been able to find that song either. Next time I hear it I'll have to listen for other words instead of being distracted by the chorus part.

"And I still haven't found any other chords."
("I still haven't found what I'm looking for.")

"She has raspberries for brains!"
("She wore a raspberry beret!")

"Walking in a woman's underwear."
("Walking in a winter wonderland.")

All Right Now by Free has the lyrics "let's move before they raise the parking rate".
When we were in high school we thought parking rate was the f word ing rent.

We were always looking for naughty words where there were none.
