Misheard Lyric

It’s always a bit amusing for me to hear German entertainers singing English songs. One of the performers (a comedian) we saw during Stadtfest was singing the song Candyman as part of his show (you know that song – “who can make the sun rise, sprinkle it with dew…”)

It was fairly obvious from the outset that he really didn’t know the words for this song. A lot of them were mumbled so they at least had the appropriate vowel sounds. But we’ve all done that.

The best moment was when he sang the line that is supposed to be “Talk about your childhood wishes…”

He quite clearly sang “Talk about your jilted missus…”

It gives the song quite a different perspective… hehe
