I used to believe that songs on the radio were performed by tiny little bands in my trunk. Every single band on Earth was microscopically there, hidden in the thin carpet, and every once in a while they had a chance to perform with their supersonically loud voices.

My wife believed that there were little tiny people inside the speaker of the hifi that played in a brass band.

I used to believe when I was very very young that the sound coming out of radio sets was made by very tiny little people.Probably tinier than a third of my pinky then.
My older sibling actually did well to enhance that believe.Well,my kid brain used to think there was a whole world in those tiny boxes.Now I know better;)

My mom used to tell me that if I turned a radio on and went away it would break. I guess she did it to keep me from wasting power. But I beleived her for the next few years, then I started to wonder just how does the radio know when you leave it? Now I am 14 and I still get a little nervous sometimes if I leave a radio on while I'm away.

When I was little, I was convinced that musicians lived inside the radio...little versions of them, that is!

when I was about 5 years old I thought that a there was 1 radio station for the entire world. I thought it was in space conected to a satalite and that it was pretty much a big stage that people would perform on.

I used to think that songs on the radio station played at the exact time the next day or the same day next week. So anytime I heard a song I liked, I checked the clock and tried to memorize the time,but usually i forgot anyway.

— Spencer

when my twin and i were about 6 or 7 we thought when you turn the radio on in the car little people in the speakers would play instruments and sing! one time i figured out a way to open the speaker and i stuck my hand in it! i thought the little people bit me!!!

I used to believe that if you went to another town or state, the radio and TV programs would be different. The first time I traveled out-of-state, I was shocked that the radio still played the same songs that it played at home.

i used believe that there were two little men strapped to the bottom of our car that were really good musicans,(sp?)and they would play every song on the radio. (they must have some good vocal cords) I used to look for them, and once i brought food to them!

In storm broadcasts came on the radio I used to believe it was Helen Keller speaking. Let me explain. I read in a biography that when she learned to speak she sounded robotic because she did not know to let her voice rise and fall. On storm broadcasts the people talking sounded like robots talking which lead me to that belief.

— Kelly

I used to believe when a radio anouncement for a club said "No Cover" that meant No Clothes.

When I was 4 or 5, I was driving in the car with my mom one day and she tells me that I was staring very hard at the dashboard. She asked me what I was looking for, and I responded with "I'm trying to see the little people that sing and play instruments inside the radio."

I used to believe that if you reversed the radio plug in the socket the music and words would come out upside down and backwards.
