An ex-boyfriend tried to convince me that the song "Who are you", by The Who was actually about New Orleans, so the refrain was "New Orleans, new-new, new-new" I, for once, actually knew the correct lyrics and he looked like the dope.
A childhood belief about misheard lyrics
others believed things like this
- I used to think that New Orleans was in Los Angeles, because I'd seen addresses written "New Orleans, LA".— Hilary
- I similarly thought that "Proud Mary" included the lyrics "pumped a lot of tanks down in New Orleans."— Larry
- I used to believe that if you were Caucasian you from New Orleans because they eat cajun foods.— Serena
- Remember the old Tubes song "White Punks on Dope". Thought they were singing "White Folks are Dumb"
— WailerMan - in the song with the lyrics "take your passion" my sister used to always think it was "take your pants off"— Steped
- My mum always thought the lyrics to macy grays song was i try to say goodbye to my chook.— alana
