I was always impressed the way the IDA got Dolly Parton to sing a song to boost FDI:

Ireland's Industry
That is what we are
no-one in between
How can we be wrong
And we rely on each other ah-ah
from one lover to another ah-ah

The last line two lines sounded a bit off for an IDA advert but I presume it was to do with Supply Chain Logistics with a personal touch.

In the this song by Anne-Marie, it sounds like she is singing 'shower the horse' rather than 'ciao, adios', so many got the lyrics wrong that she put a horse in the video.

For a long time I thought it was this:

Sour grapes
This party's over
I'm going home

The song is even called 'Celebrate' but I didn't get it.

Is it "to make a pro blush?" I never could get what she was saying.

I thought the new Katy Perry song was "Turn it up it's your favourite song. Dance , dance , dance to the disco drum". My mind was blown to realise "disco drum" is actually "distortion"
My 5 yr old is going around singing Ed Sheeran
