Is the AnneYPetey choir fictional? and other misheard lyrics

Post Wed Jun 20, 2007 4:20 pm

I've been trying to find information on the Anne Y. Petey choir, but have been unable to come up with anything. I've tried different spellings, still nothing. Is this a fictional band made up for the song?

Ok, try this spelling - NYPD Choir.

And yes, it's fictional.

Fair play to you for working out what the guest meant. I was wracking my brains trying to think of what obscure track they were on about.

hahaha
There have been some great examples of mis-heard song lines over the years. One of my favourites is The Police cong "So Lonely", which sounds like "Sue Lawley" (due to Stng's poor attempt at a Jamaican accent), who was an English news reader at the time. I saw an interview with her where she said that someone told her that there was a song about her in the charts. She was so proud for a few days, until she found out the real title.

I misheard Shane´s first verse on "Sea Shanty": "Dear dirty London in the pouring rain" and transformed it into " ...in the poem rain".

I believe this would´ve been a fantastic line, too. :D

The first time I heard "White City" I thought Shane was singing "... all washed away like digiridoos in the rain."
