It’s Friday! Let’s ease into the weekend with some mondegreens from UK bands. Today’s selection of mondegreens is brought to you by Hit Me with Your Pet Shark: Misheard Lyrics of the 1980s, by Charles Grosvenor Jr.
| Song Title | Artist/Group | Mondegreen | Actual Lyrics |
| The Reflex | Duran Duran | The reflex is in charge of finding treasure in the dog | The reflex is in charge of finding treasure in the dark |
| Hungry Like the Wolf | Duran Duran | Seen in the subway:
Earth, Wind, and Fire |
Steam in the subway Earth is afire |
| Rio | Duran Duran | The end of the drive, a llama to ride | At the end of the drive, the lawmen arrive |
| Baby’s Coming Back | Eurythmics | It’s all right, babies come in bags | It’s all right, baby’s coming back |
| Here Comes the Rain Again | Eurythmics | Falling on my head like a mule in motion | Falling on my head like a new emotion |
| Red Skies at Night | The Fixx | Rich guys with knives | Red skies at night |
| No Reply at All | Genesis | There’s soda, pie, and all | There’s no reply at all |
| Invisible Touch | Genesis | She has built-in amenities | She’s got a built-in ability |
| Father Figure | George Michael | To be bowling naked At your side |
To be bold and naked At your side |
| Faith | George Michael | My Buddhist ocean | My foolish notion |
| Mirror Man | Human League | Here comes the mirror man, Says he’s a meatball fan |
Here comes the mirror man, Says he’s a people fan |
