How shall we sing the Lord's song in Australia?

I don't get it.

The 60's and 70's were pre-Crocodile Dundee therefore Australia still = Strange Land

Misheard Lyrics No. 492...innit.

On Survival, Bob Marley claims to be a "black survivor like Daniel O'Donnell". The printed lyrics claim he is saying "Daniel in the lion's den", but I still can't hear it.

In Message in a Bottle by the Police, Sting sings 'a year has passed since I broke my nose', which I always found rather strange.

They were having problems doing the Australian accent.
This line is actually a general request to language coaches everywhere for aid in developing their ability to produce a convincing Aussie drawl.

Kind of like the way Keanu Reeves had this deadly English accent in "Dracula" after someone taught him how to do it.

The Police have a song which I choose to believe features the lyrics "Horses piss on my head" over and over again.

And who could forget the gem in "Every breath you take" where Sting announces "I'm a pool hall ace"

In Message in a Bottle by the Police, Sting sings 'a year has passed since I broke my nose', which I always found rather strange.

"Just a castaway I am lost at sea- o
Another lonely day no one left but me -o
...
hundred billion castaways looking for a home - o"

edit: also that song about some girl called "sue lawley"

 

[travispickle]

and didn't Madonna invite a former Goodie to get erotic with her:

"bill oddie, bill oddie, put your hands all over my body"

 

[magicbastarder]

yes
remember reading the indie charts published in the NME around the 1987-1989 period which had plenty Kylie records featuring. She was on PWL.

Erasure used to well too. On Mute.

when I'm alone I sing 'de niro is gargantua'

 

[Mitchum]

There's a song on the latest Devastations album with the line 'put your foreign hand up my filthy robe'...
I could have sworn he was singing 'put your foreign hand up my fearful hole'.
