A childhood belief about misheard lyrics

You know that corny Winne the Pooh song that came out with the animated series in the late 80's? I think everyone has.

There's a line in there that goes...

"Wherever we go. Oh, won't you take me please...Pooh Bear, I gotta be there... it's me and it's you, a silly old Winnie the Pooh..."

Little me heard: "Wherever we go, no oh you tapey please... Pooh Bear I got a bee there... it's me and a shoe, a silly old Winnie the Pooh..."

All through the series, I had yet to see a happy, talking shoe and was confused why they mentioned him if they were never going to show him.

There's also a line in there that goes
"He's round and he's fuzzy, I love him because he's just... Pooh Bear...(ect.)

I heard: He's brown and he's fuzzy, I love em' because he's just..."

I got mad when I heard that line because Pooh Bear looked 100% orange to me. I thought the adults were just trying to test our color skills. I was seriously thinking about writing a letter to stop lying to us about Pooh Bear's color. When that didn't work, I just figured it was something wrong with my TV.

Ah... good times... good times...
