Last night the kids were sat next to me watching The Voice UK and as usual Lil Princess was unable to contain herself, she grabbed one of the mics from our Playstation Sing Star set and belted out
LP: Annie are you ok? Are you ok innit!
Since when was Michael Jackson speaking Hinglish?
And the dictionary identifies how the ubiquitous “innit” was absorbed into British Asian speech via “haina” – a Hindi tag phrase, stuck on the sentences and meaning “is no?”.
The last time I heard, Smooth Criminal was set somewhere in the U.S.!!
It reminded me of a time when Lil Man was being educated in urban music, with my Trevor Nelson CD.
We were listening to Adina Howard’s Freak Like Me and a short rap comes on
“1 to the 2, to the 2 to the 3
Adina do you wanna get freaky with me.”
Lil Man’s version?
LM: 1 to the 2, to the 2 to the 3
Baby do you wanna get a sweety with me!
I prefer his version!! Every time I hear the song, I sing that now!
Do you have any great misheard lyrics? Kids do it all the time!!
But I Smile Anyway...

This is so cute, I love this….i can’t think of any song lyrics right now, but my youngest when he was around 3 and 4, he used to say wrong words for things. They were so cute I would honestly not correct him.
I am in the US. For the American Flag he would say “miracle flag” hahaa, no idea where he got this from, but he was so sweet saying it.
Now, where I live we don’t really have tornadoes. However, every once in a while they do have to put a “watch” for them on the news, but they never happen. He must have been in Kindergarten at the time as his friends would talk of it, and he would say “Mommy, I hope we don’t get any tomatoes.”…LOL! He said this one for years…again I did not correct him because he was my baby and I thought it was too cute.
Love this post.

Blinded by the light:”revved up like a deuce another runner in the night”….to me was always “wrapped up like a douche, another rubber in the night”.
