When i was a little kid i found a video on youtube of someone playing a guitar and singing in German. I thought he was speaking gibberish until i showed my mom the video and she told me he was speaking German. For a long time, i thought that german was the language of germs and that he was singing a song about germs(since i didn't understand the song)
