I was listening to Radio 2 at work today and I noticed that the new single sounds like this:

"I don't feel like dancin' with an OJO in mi face!"

Have a listen....


Quite apt really. :D

I said the exact same thing to my girlfriend, then had to explain what an ojo was...
According to her it's actually "old joanna" which is meant to be some kind of slang for a jukebox. You're right though that it sounds a hell of a lot funnier and more apt as ojo.

Er, no.

Old Joanna = Piano.

I always thought the Old Joanna was a piano.

Edit: Beaten.

When it first came out I thought the lyric was "But I don't feel like dancing when the ojo's out of place" and had to look up what it actually was. I prefer my version to the original though.
 
Couple of weekends ago we were singing "But I dont feel like dancing when the ojo starts to chafe". Oh how we laughed.
 
I am ashamed i know the chorus to this song:

No i dont feel like dancing when the old joanna plays,
my heart could take a chance but my two feet cant find a way,
you think that i could muster up a little soft shoop devil sway,
no i dont feel like dancing no sir no dancing today.



Dont feel like dancing, dancing even if i cant find nothing better to do
Dont feel like dancing dancing, why do you break it down when im not in the mood?
Dont feel like dancing dancing rather be home with no one if i cant get down with you, oo, ooo.

*ahem*

Is the third line not "a little soft shoe gentle sway"

How on earth did you decipher the second half of the chorus? :confused: Play a 45 at 38RPM or something?
 
Not a fan of the song myself after it got severely overplayed, but anyway.. as atpbx said...

But I don’t feel like dancing
When the old Joanna plays
My heart could take a chance
But my two feet can’t find a way
You'd think that I could muster up a little soft shoe, gentle sway
But I don’t feel like dancin’
No sir, no dancin’ today.

Don’t feel like dancin’, dancin’
Even if i find nothin' better to do
Don’t feel like dancin’, dancin’
Why'd you pick a tune when I’m not in the mood?
Don’t feel like dancin’, dancin’
I'd Rather be home with the one in the bed till dawn with you

Conversely, I enjoy the fact that they've injected a much-missed sense of fun and disco back into pop.

Right or not I prefer your version.
My friend was convinced the Morcheeba song went 'All we want is Sunset Sex, but the chance is never around'
He was gutted when he found out is was really 'Some Success'

Any other misheard song lyrics that turn out to be an improvement?

Well seeing as i dont have the cd infront of me to actually check what they are, more than one website agrees with me:

but i don’t feel like dancin’
when the old joanna plays
my heart could take a chance
but my two feet can’t find a way
you think that i could muster up a little soft, shoop devil sway
but i don’t feel like dancin’
no sir, no dancin’ today.

don’t feel like dancin’, dancin’
even if i find nothin' better to do
don’t feel like dancin’, dancin’
why’d you break down when i’m not in the mood?
don’t feel like dancin’, dancin’
rather be home with no one when i can't get down with you

Like i said im not going to get into this over a gay pop song.
Much. ;)

Each to their own,I find them immensley irritating,maybe thats what they intend though,defiantly camp/fun and disco!

Fair play to 'em,if I had an idea for irritating the public to such a degree,i'd also revel in inflicting it on 'em! :D
