Steve Miller Band song "jet airliner" has the lyric " big ole jet airliner, don't carry me too,far away" which I believed until just a few years ago, was "big ole chair that I'm lyin' on, don't carry me too far away."

I used to think that in this song, forgot the name, in a part that said " A little bit busy on my telephone " said, " Im a little bit busy on my planet, Bone." My sister had to correct me many times....

I used to believe…

When I was little, my dad would often play "Hot Rod Lincoln". There was never any alcohol in the house, and I'd never heard anybody drop the 'g' from a word ending in 'ing' before, so I thought Drinkin was a place, and that the guy driving the Hot Rod Lincoln was going to give him a lift.

I used to believe…

Apparently in the song Eton Rifles by the Jam, they sing 'Eton Rifles, Eton Rifles' and not, as I thought, 'Meets a right one, Meets a right one'.

In the song, "American Idiot" by Green Day, the line goes, "So maybe I'm the f*gg*t America," but I was in third grade and thought it was, "So maybe I'm a fat guy in America."

I used to believe…

When I was younger, my older sister would blast the top 40 hits while she got ready for school. This was when Autotune became popular, and I thought the majority of songs were sang by robots, like in SpongeBob. Every morning I would do the robot dance to the radio, and I never understood why my sister looked at me like I was crazy.

I use to think that Foreigner song 'Jukebox Hero' was actually Juicebox hero... It just made more sense to me that way.

When I was little, I thought cassette tapes had sheet music written on them and little creatures would play and sing as they tape spun inside the tape player.

I used to believe…

Every time I saw a music video on TV, I thought that the pop stars in that video had jumped into the TV to sing their song, and then when the song was over they would just get back out of the TV and carry on with their lives. I was really confused about how they managed to perform the song in the exact same way every single time, and I always wondered what would happen if I tried to jump into the TV myself.

I used to believe…

When I was about 2 or 3, I used to think Buddy Holly's Peggy Sue actually said "Eggy Soup" XP

I used to believe…

In the song "Suit and Tie," there's a line that goes:
"Can't wait to get you on the floor, good looking"
For months, I sang it as:
"Can't wait to get you on the floor, toboggan."
