Misheard lyrics

We've all done it at some time or another. Misheard a Runrig lyric so that in our minds it turns into something amusing. Here are a few very good ones and I thank everyone who submitted them. If you want to add one use the comment page or drop me an email.

Not quite a misheard lyric but it's funny all the same, here's a "Runrig song sang by Kattz's little kiddie winks

Beat the drum, beat the drum. Like a heart beat lonely and strong beat the drum.

Beat The Bum Beat The Bum, with a Cheese String, lonely and strong Beat The Bum.

And for something along the same lines. The band were once doing a TV thingy jiggy. The guy that was helping with it wanted to show our fave drummer singing in Gaelic as well, "oh no... nothing doing" says poor Mr Bayne. The fact is Iain couldn't sing a word of Gaelic. Eventually they decided that Iain would just have to find words in English that sound like the Gaelic words. Sadly the words that fitted best were "Fart in the lavey next door". This apparently is a true story but maybe Mr Iain can confirm it for us.
