My favorite band is Panic! at the Disco, but when I first heard them, I couldn't understand most of their lyrics. For example, in Time to Dance, I thought the line
"Boys will be boys, hiding in estrogen and wearing Aubergine dreams"
was
Buzomy boys, hiding in estrogen and learning other kids dreams."
I've always had trouble with lyrics.
A childhood belief about misheard lyrics
others believed things like this
- I used to believe the Beastie Boys were a boy band. Well, the name sounds similar to Backstreet Boys!Anon
- I thought the lyrics to "We're going to Ibiza" by the Venga Boys was "We're going to eat pizza"— ShannonOfDoom
- I never knew why boys had to lift up the toilet seat...until my friend told me that boys had bad aim.Anon
- I thought the song Shattered Dreams was acutaly "Shadow Dreams" and wondered what shadow dreams were— Golgademon
- I used to think the lyrics of "Boys of Summer" said "poison summer"— Lindsay
- I used to think the Back Street Boys were black. I also thought Seal was a boy band. — Tufty
