'Poor old Johnny Ray Sounded sad upon the radio Moved a million hearts in mono Our mothers cried...'
With thanks to Dexy's Midnight Runners, these are the first lines to 'Come on Eileen'. That's all well and good, I hear you say. But then we come to the next line, which is, 'Sang along, who'd blame them.' Well that's what they are normally. Then Mrs Lee gets a hold of them, and they turn into... 'Santalamoochalla.'
Don't even ask.
And I'm sure she's not the only one who has misheard lyrics...
