My sister used to think that in the Madonna song 'Material Girl' when she sang the line "material" over and over near the end Madonna was actually singing "A ma - tiddly - um"
A childhood belief about misheard lyrics

others believed things like this
- When I was younger, I saw Madonna's video for "Material Girl". I thought she was singing "I'm a Cheerio Girl"!— Greg
- That Madonna sang "I'm a cheerio girl" instead of material girl— HN
- I always thought instead of saying "Im a material girl" Madonna was saying "Im a cheerio girl".— Tiffany
- When Madonna sang "let the choir sing" in "Like a Prayer", I thought she was singing "love by proxy"— Kristen
- I use to believe that a "Prima Donna" was "Pre-Madonna"---someone before Madonna's time.
— Lacey S - I used to think satin was a material like velvet.Anon
