My family and I go to this pizza place. At the pizza place there are mini juke boxes at each table. When i was little I always wanted to play Achey Braky Heart by the Chipmunks. My parents told me if I played that song i would arrested! Let me tell you, I steared clear of that song for a while!

Every time I heard the Elvis song - Return to Sender, I thought he was singing a song specifically to me. I thought he was singing, Return to 'Cinda'

When I was about 5, my family and sunday school liked to sing the song "Climb up Sunshine Mountain." The lyrics said "Climb up Sunshine Mountain, faces all aglow." I thought that the glowing faces were what the mountain was made of. I always felt eerie hearing about little kids climb up (what I pictured to be) a mountain giant green monster faces.

this is about music... when i was young and i watched performances, i thought the conductors and the performers have a secret code, like "when i raise my right hand you start playing." i didnt know conductors were there to keep the time til i joined a band...

When I was about 4 or 5, there was this song I heard on the radio all the time (apparently by Quarterflash, according to a Google search I just performed), which contained the lyrics "I'm gonna harden my heart, I'm gonna swallow my tears". I took this literally. I believed that if you swallowed your tears, your heart would harden and you would die. One day, after bumping my head on a table leg, I started to cry a little, and a tear dripped into my mouth. I started screaming hysterically, telling my mom I needed to go to the hospital. Of course she was freaking out, thinking I'd split my skull open or something. Through my sobs, I explained that I had jusy swallowed a tear, and would soon die of heart failure. Just like the song says. She looked at me in disbelief, and started laughing.

When I was 7-10 years old, I used to believe that music would eventually end one day. That the singers would run out of ideas and music just end like any other thing!

In the Beatles song "When I'm 64", the line "..Will you still feed me, when I'm 64?" confused me. As a very small child I had already mastered feeding myself and couldn't understand how Paul McCartney would still require someone to feed him his meals on a spoon at the unbelievably old age of 64.

i, too, thought my grandma made up the bushel and a peck song. :)

In middle school, though I was on the verge of abandoning Christianity, I still was afraid of hidden messages in heavy metal music. Consequently, I was wary when listening to White Zombie and never listened for too protracted a period, lest I be indoctrinated into whatever brand of satanism Rob Zombie and his crew were peddling.

I used to strongly believe that the 70's metal band Kansas played country music, because kansas is in the country therefore I wouldn't let anyone listen to it cos I was convinced country was evil, for no desernible reason.

You know what the really sad part of that is? I was born and raised till age 8 in kansas.

When I was in fourth grade, I used to think that "One Headlight" by the Wallflowers was called "Watermelon Money".

In Kindergarden for Father's Day, we sang "Take Me Out to the Ball Game" for some reason, I thought it was about bowling. I thought that until fourth grade when I actually thought about the lyrics.

When I was young my parents used to "force" me to listen to the Beatles. One of my favorites was the one entitled, "Can't Buy Me Love" but it was my favorite because I thought they were saying "(why) can't bobby love?"

In nursery school I was taught a song, a part of which mentioned making tea for your parents after they came back home from work. At that time I didn't know what tea was, saw I imagined having to serve my parents huge chunks of meat.

One time I was at my aunt and uncle's house and I heard the song Islands in the Stream on the radio. From that day on I believed it was my aunt and uncle singing that song. So every time it came on the radio I would say that was their song untill my mom finally asked me what I meant. she got a good laugh before she told me it was actually Dolly Parton and Kenny Rogers.

"sail away with me"

When i was in the second grade my friend and I were in class reading and my friend started to sing "yesterday" by the beatles (mind u i was named after the song "michelle" so my parents played the beatles all the time) i asked her o0o whered you get that song?! and she told me she wrote it..so a few years later my dad and i were in the car and the radio started to play "yesterday" and i got excited and exclaimed "thats Natalis song!!" my dad laughed...

I used to wonder how bands and orchestras knew how to play music for vocalists (I didn't understand that performances were prepared because it appeared to me that the singer spontaneously started breaking into song and the musicians were able to figure out how to play for him/her).

I usd to take turns of phrase and song lyrics very literally when I was a kid. In the song When Doves Cry by Prince, when the lyrics say "This is what it sounds like when the doves cry", there's a part in the song where he makes this really strange squealing noise right after that line. When i was a kid, I thought he was literally impersonating what a dove would sound like if it cried. Until I was about 8, I thought that doves cried, and when they did, it sounded like Prince's high pitched squealing.

What does it sound like when dove's laugh?

I used to think that the Abba song "nina pretty ballerina" was written about me. Because that's my name and I was doing ballet at the time (I was about 7) also "dancing Queen" except for the part of "only 17" because I thought that was unbelievably old

nina

I thught when a song was a remix that it meant that it was two songs mixed together to make one I'd ask people what song it was mixed with and they'd answer me so i thought i was right.
