The votes are in.
After several lawsuits.
Last week, with a fancy €25 Golden Discs voucher offer, I asked for your most embarrassing incident of mishearing lyrics to popular songs in public.
You answered in your shameful dozens.
Alas, there could only one winner.
Third Place:

‘Has to be ‘Ireland’s industry’ an ad for the IDA I thought, and not Islands in the Stream…’

‘Mine goes back a bit – while the rest of Sister Teresa’s Senior Infants were singing “he’s got the whole world in his hands” I heard – and sang with gusto – “he’s got the whole world in his pants”. Even a slap across the ear from the head nun (“forever the smart alec, aren’t we?”) didn’t clarify; it was years later that i uncovered my (genuine) error.’
Winner:
Mucho Gordo-Delgado
‘George Michael: “Cause I gotta have faith, I gotta’ have faith, Because I gotta have faith, faith, faith, I got to have faith, faith, faith.”
I heard: “Cause I gotta have Fanta, I gotta’ have Fanta, Because I gotta have Fanta, Fanta, Fanta, I got to have Fanta, Fanta, Fanta.”‘
Nick says: Thanks all (also this week’s competition coming up).

The US election has reminded me of one – that Taylor Swift song which goes
“boys only want love if it’s torture”
I always hear as
“Boys only want love if it’s Georgia”
Used to wonder who Georgia was
Damn, too late your third place reminds me of Kenny Rogers’ …”You picked a fine time to leave me loose heel”
