Soulboyrecords Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 This is an off shoot of the what lyrics got you into the soul scene thread of a few weeks ago. It was sparked by a chance encounter with Jimmy Mack, my world is on fire. I thought what a stupidly daft lyric it is that kicks off this 45... I am sure there is far worse out there, but here's a starter for 10 ... Like a Chestnut roasting on an open flame My heart is burning driving me insane Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Amsterdam Russ Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 A misheard lyric rather than a stupidly daft lyric. "When I found that love of mine, I found the fruit bats on the vine…" There's a prize of a fruit bat if you can ID the song. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Dx I was pretty sure it was jungle Dave. Had another listen before I posted and it's definitely "junger". Is that a slang word for jungle? Unless of course they just changed jungle to junger to rhyme with hunger and thunder! Pierre Edited November 27, 2015 by Peter99 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
