There is this Christmas song that has the lyrics, "we will have some pumpkin pie" and I always thought it was we will all have some "F___in" pie". The sad part is I thought this becasue that is the way I remember my grandmother singing it.

I used to think that the Elton John song "That's Why They Call It The Blues" went "That's why they call it a loo." For years, I was certain that the song was about a toilet, although I don't know why anyone would want to sing about one.

When I was younger, maybe 7 or so I used to think the line in the song Barbara Anne by the Beach Boys "went to a dance, lookin' for romance. Saw Barbara Anne so I thought I'd take a chance" REALLY was saying "Went to the dance, lookin for some pants. Saw Barbara Anne's so I thought I'd take her pants"

I've never let my mum live down the time when she was singing 'Take That Look Off Your Face' from the musical 'Song and Dance' (Andrew Lloyd Webber/Don Black).....she sang 'There's more than one car with knickers on'!
Personally I'm yet to see one car like this!

I have always been (and still am!) convinced that the Beach Boys song 'I Was Made To Love Her' has the refrain 'Hey, hey, you son of a b***h!'. I am told that it actually says 'Hey, hey, yes I was made to love her' - but I don't believe it!

until about 3 years ago, i believed in mary had a little lamb the song, they said "had fleas as white as snow" instead of "fleece."

OK, you know the song 'Killer Queen' (by Queen)? There is a line in the refrain 'Wanna try'.

Well, when I was very young and first heard this song, I thought it said 'What a drag' as in how boring.....of course, when I was older I held onto my version because it then seemed to make perfect sense that the song was about a drag queen.

I was only enlightened a few days ago - oops!

Crazy Moo

Reading another belief on here just reminded me of this. I used to think that 'Feed the world, let them know it's Christmas time' was in fact 'Heathrow, whooooooa, let them know it's Christmas time'. To go with this was a bizarre mental image of aeroplanes celebrating Christmas..........don't ask!

'When Smokey sings, I hear violins'

I don't! I hear 'When smoke gets in, I feel firing'.

Made perfect sense to me!

The theme song of Grease, instead of your the one that i want, i thought it sounded like 'your the wobbley dog'
I thought she'd find that a bit insulting, i would.

"Dancing Queen, feel the beat from the tangerine, oooh yeaaaaah" ...

I used to think that tangerines used to make a special sound when you hit them. Cue squashed citrus fruit all over the house. My mother was not happy.

I used to hear the lyrics to Culture Club's Karma Chameleon as "Become-a come-a come-a come-a come-a comedian..." Oh well...

I used to think that the song from CATS ("Gelical cats!") actually went "Genital cats!" I thought Genital Cats was like, another euphemism for crabs or soething, because the song went, "Genital cats are black and white. Genital cats are rather small...."

In the song All Star by Smashmouth I thought the line
"I ain't the sharpest tool in the shed"
was
"I ate the sharpest tool in the shed"
and I got these freaky images of a fat guy eating a saw.

Theres a bit in Avril Lavigne's Complicated where she sings "Honestly promise me I'm never gonna find you fake it". I was pretty sure I heard the line "Thomas please promise me I'm never gonna find you naked"

My flatmate at the time was a guy called Tom so it was particularly apt. It was like she was singing to me maaan, it was like Lavigne UNDERSTOOD.

Unahappy ending to this story though as I did inadvertently come home to find Tom naked.

Thanks for listening, this is far cheaper than therapy

when i first heard boyfriend by Ashlee Simpson i thought she said, "I'm pregnant with you boyfriend" instead of "I didn't steal your boyfriend." I couldn't understand who would have a fetus for a boyfriend.

I have an older brother named Sean, who's only about a year older. When I was little, my mom used to sing to him, "You are my sun shine, my only sun shine..." I was very jealous of him, becasue my mom had written a song for him, and not for me! I thought the lyrics were, "You are my son, Sean, my only son, Sean..."

Jealous Sister

I used to believe that they the line from Hey ya, by Outcast was "shake it like a qualified teacher". Its actually shake it like a polaroid picture!
How would a qualified teacher shake it anyway?

Caroline

My dad used to think that the part of the ghostbusters theme that went 'Who you gonna call? GHOSTBUSTERS!' actually said 'Who you gonna call? THOSE BASTARDS'.

Nuff said.

I believed that there were two types of trees. There were the "Partri" and the "Ginapear" trees.

On the first day of Christmas my true love gave to me a Parti, Ginapear tree......
