My brother recently told me that he thought that in "Wind Beneath My Wings" the lyrics "I can fly higher than an eagle" were "I can fly higher than any gull", as in a seagull...I think the fact that he grew up amongst avid fisherman had something to do with this...
A childhood belief about misheard lyrics
others believed things like this
- that song that goes *bring me a higher love*
i thought it said *breathing in iron lung*— oi - I used to believe that Eagle Brand Condensed Milk was actually an eagle's milk!Anon
- I thought buffalo wings were wings from a buffalo, for years I looked for their wingsAnon
- I recently very disturbed to learn that Al Jolson was in fact Caucasian.Anon
- My brother thought the trees made the wind...logical.— peter
- When I was little I thought seagulls were called seagles. Like a portmanteau of 'sea' and 'eagle'.Anon
