My youngest brother used to sing to Paul Youngs "Every time you go away" with the line "Every time you go away you take a piece of MEAT with you"
A childhood belief about misheard lyrics
others believed things like this
- my brother used to believe that Ground Chuck meat was actually groundhog meat. Anon
- That at meetings adults sat on plastic chairs surrounding a large piece of meatAnon
- I used to hear "Everytime you go away, you take a piece of Meat with you"
Makes a nice light snack I spose.— Linda - When you are very poor you "can't make end's meat." End's meat is some sort of cheap very low quality meat.— Betty
- When I was six my sister told me Meat Pies were made from mashed up rats...to this day I can't eat a Meat Pie.— Jamie
- My brother was listening to The Corrs and instead "leave me breathless" he would sing "give me breakfast".Anon
