Did you make up new words to pop songs when you were a child?

  Hahah, yes! Me and my cousin used to change words in Spice Girls songs to types of fruit.
  
  "I need some grapes, like I've never needed grapes before - wanna make love to a grapefruit".
  
  That was our fave.

  A pattern is starting to emerge - little kids are obsessed with food!

  I still do it now! And yes, some of it does indeed involve food!
  
  Adele's Skyfall makes a mean ballad dedicated to Apple Crumble for example.

  Came across this video of Level 42's song 'Leaving Me Now', and it took me right back to junior school, and a friend who made up the 'hilarious' words "Well I suppose you're eating a cow, you were so hungry but so full up now".
  
  Yeah, right, not exactly razor edge satire, but we're talking 8/9 year olds here.
  
  Do you remember any made up words from pop songs when you were a kid?

  
  This reminds me of when people at school used to make jokes about that old Steps song "Tragedy", by changing the lyrics. "Tragedy -- when you lose control of the toilet roll..."

  I often got lyrics wrong through mishearing. Made my mum giggle every time I sang "don't cry for me Sergeant Tina" back in the early Seventies.

  I was a big Bob Marley fan as a 7 year old. Presumably I was making up my own words.

  Remember 90s dance track Freed from Desire?
  

  My love has got no money - he's got his strong beliefs
  My love has got no power- he's got his strong beliefs....
  
  Want more and more
  People just want more and more...

  
  Well our version was:
  
  Your momma's got no money - your dad is on the dole
  so he went down to Aldi - to steal a sausage roll
  
  He's on the run
  With an Aldi sausage roll...

  I remember one of my friends singing
  
  "We had joy, we had fun, we had Suzie on the run. The fun didn't last because the ******* ran too fast"
  
  in place of
  
  "We had joy, we had fun, we had seasons in the sun."
  
  I don't know who Suzie was...
