I had a friend that used to believe the song "sad but true" actually said "sand machine"
A childhood belief about misheard lyrics

others believed things like this
- in sting's / the police's song ''roxanne''. I thaught that it was ''rock sand''— wacko zacho
- That song that goes:
I'll never let you go...
I thought he was singing:
Another machine gun...
Haha.— Kelle - i used to believe that our ansering machine was the washing machine and that it could talk
— tamara - When I got my feet measured by the electronic machine, I thought that the machine will squash my feet!— Helen
- i used to think salt was made of sand— hibiscus
- When my daughter was 3, she saw a cat using a litter box. She thought it was building a sand castle.— Debbie the Bad Swimmer
