Thread Name: What 'serious' song do you giggle through?
Subject: RE: What 'serious' song do you giggle through?
Elvis did his own version which cracks me up every single time... 'Do you gaze at your bald spot, and wish you had hair...'

The killer is the backing singer whom would have otherwise have gone unnoticed if the song had continued properly.

Then for years I thought that those brave fishing lads in 'Three Score and Ten' were battling with the sMell....

Recently heard during a rendition of 'A drop of Nelson's blood'... which has now done for the song forever for me... 'A nice wash below wouldn't do us any harm'....

Then there's the delightfully rotund Nick Dow's famous mondegreen when he transposed two lines and got 'Seven long years I've been waiting for just one glimpse of my Willie-o'.
