My mother seriously thought Dido's song 'White Flag' went '...I will poke my eyes out and surrender..' rather than '...i will put my hands up and surrender...' And she's old. What a dumbass!
A childhood belief about misheard lyrics
others believed things like this
- Remember the old Tubes song "White Punks on Dope". Thought they were singing "White Folks are Dumb"
— WailerMan - I thought that the song "Hands off she's mine" by The English Beat was actually saying "Anton, she's my aunt"— Nate
- When i was a child i used to believe that i became invisible when i covered my hands with my eyes.
— Owen - I used to think that the song "Just like white winged dove" by Stevie Nicks was "Just like the white window" — Julia
- The Kim Carnes song called 'Bette Davis Eyes' well my dad used to sing "She's got Dickie Davis Eyes" Anon
- when i was young i thought god was a cloud, big white fluffy cloud floating around with 2 eyes and a smile. — kerrie
