Apparently in the song Eton Rifles by the Jam, they sing 'Eton Rifles, Eton Rifles' and not, as I thought, 'Meets a right one, Meets a right one'.
A childhood belief about misheard lyrics

- My mates Mum used to think Paul Weller was singing about "Eating Trifles" instead of "Eton Rifles"— Sean
- I thought that singer/songwriter was spelled this way: sing-a-song-writer...Anon

- Did anyone else sing "Hark, the hairy angels sing"?— Jill
- My mum said that when I used to sing "noahs arc" at school I would sing "who built the arc, no one, no one"— Clare
