Up until about a month ago when we corrected her, my oldest sister (who is now 22) was convinced that the words to Jimmy Barnes song "Cheap wine and a 3 day growth" was actually "cheap wine and a 3 legged goat". She could never undenstand why anyone would want to sing about 3 legged goats!
A childhood belief about misheard lyrics
others believed things like this
- MY SISTER TOLD ME THAT CANNED SPAGHETTI WERE REALLY WORMS THAT'S WHY THEY WERE SO CHEAP...I BELIEVED— CATHY
- I thought the line in the song "more than a woman" was "four-legged woman".— boo
- i used to think "black dog" by led zeppelin started out like, "big-legged momma, see the way you moo."— ginny
- I used to believe that if you swallowed wine or beer in two sips then you would get drunk— Heather
- a friend thought that the song "dirty deeds done dirt cheap" was saying "dirty deeds dunderchief"— dubs
- I always thought there was a drinking age for coffee, because it was an adult drink like beer and wine.Anon
