When listening to Terry Wogan on the radio, I used to think that the musicians/singers were there in the studio with him, as sometimes he'd make comments that sounded like he was talking to them. Things like "thanks for that, what a great song"

I used to believe my father's antique radio played old songs because the radio was old. I didn't realize it was the station he listened too!

I used to think that you can always talk back at the radio, but then i noticed that sometimes it didn't talk back. That's when i noticed that YOU can only HEAR the radio! My mom had to point it out for me after i screamed loudly at the radio.

When I was a little kid, I used to think that there were little tiny singers in the radio.

I believed that the song on the radio was somehow tied to your location in the car, so that if you wanted to hear the same song again you could just turn the car around.

as a child of about 5 years old i used to think when listening to the radio and you turned ot off, when you turn it on an hour later, the programmes continued from when you turned it off. i must have been about 7 or 8 before i knew different. the worst thing about this is the fact that i can still remember an arguement regarding this with my best friend. so can he.

when i was a kid i had a small cassette player. i have to say that music was the best thing in the world at that time for me. one day my "magic box" broke. i didn't understand what happened and i thought that if i concentrate hard and ask my player to work again, it would do it for me! but it never did. I tried so hard for a long time...

--I was sure that the sounds coming out of our stereo speakers were made by little men who lived inside the stereo cabinet. i was really excited because I thought the Monkees lived in there. I used to talk to them through the speaker. "I love you Davey. No, I love peter. No wait, Mickey."

When I was in first grade my teacher sent me to another class to get a boombox. I thought that a boombox was a box that would actually say "boom" when you would open it. Boy, was I surprised when it was just a stupid radio.

I use to believe that the voices coming out of a clock radio were actual people living inside the radio. (I watched too much Electric Company)

I used to believe that when the radio was on it was really just poeple on the roof of our car singing into the wires that connected into our radio and I never saw them because whenever we stopped they threw a rope onto a nearby cloud and floated away

— Blakus

when i was small my mom had this little box radio and whenever the radio came on that the people who were singing had special powers and transmitted from one radio to the next. i actually tried to open it a few times.

— arta

When I was yougner and I used to listen to the Top 10 of the radio station, I figured that there was a group of about 10 librarians who came up with the list. I didn't know that you had to call in and everybody's requests were tallied. haha.

I used to believe…

That inside the car radio were a quartet of very little men in red-and-white vertical striped suits with straw hats and canes, and they were singing (in harmony) the tunes I was hearing come out of the speaker. They were dancing too, though why I don't know, since I couldn't see them. Sometimes my invisible friend Fudda was one of them.

— Anniee

i used to believe that little people lived in the radio and played the music for us.

— dylan mcdonald

My parents had a full-sized van (complete with red shag carpeting!:) we always used for road trips. Whenever the radio was on I would lay in the back watching the speakers convinced I could see the bands playing each song...turns out it was just my reflection.
