When I was about 5, I thought the song "Barbara Ann," by the Beach Boys, was about Bob Rae, the premier of Ontario at the time.
A childhood belief about misheard lyrics

others believed things like this
- We knew a woman named Barbara Hannah, and I thought she was was in charge of Hannah-Barbara!Anon
- I never used to take shower after going to the beach, because i thought that tans washed off right away.Anon
- I never knew why boys had to lift up the toilet seat...until my friend told me that boys had bad aim.Anon
- I used to believe the Beastie Boys were a boy band. Well, the name sounds similar to Backstreet Boys!Anon
- I thought the song "Party Time" by Moby was actually saying "heart attack" (this was before I knew the title)— Elviessa
- I used to think that at night at the beach the government would turn off the waves.— Caitlin
