I used to believe…

my friend jenn thought that the prodigy was singing i'm a twisted fiire fighter instead of fire starter, also that oasis were singing fromage frais instead of some might say.

I used to believe…

when i was aroud 5-6 i thought the beatles lived inside our record player. also that little people lived inside records

I used to believe…

When I was about 6 years old, I asked a "friend" what the verse "you'll go down in history" in "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" meant. He told me that "history" was a place where they cut the heads off of reindeer!

From then on, I was sad every time I heard that song.

I used to believe…

the carpenters sing sing a song my words were always sink sink a sonk so i certainly put them in there place still love to listen to it though

I used to believe…

My dad used to tell me that he used the be Paul from the Beatles.

Years later I found out about the 'Paul is dead conspiracy'.

I'm now looking to sue for lost family royalties.

I used to think that Green Day's "Time of Your Life" went
Another yearning goat, a cork stuck in a toad,
Time grabs you by the wrist and erects you and your nose.
o.O Don't ask...

I listened to the Beatles all the time when I was younger, and before I learned any English. I have a lot of misunderstandings that I have realized later.... It's quite interesting to listen to the lyrics again, now that I understand what they're talking about.

One "mishearing" however I hadn't realized until recently. The song is "I'm a loser" and he sings: "What have I done to deserve such a fate" but I always thought that he said: "What have I done to deserve such a face"
- I was picturing a very ugly man singing and I felt so sorry for him....haha

When I first heard the early 80's song entitled "Every Time You Go Away You Take a Piece of Me with You" I took it literally. I was 3 and I really thought it was a guy singing about a person who took different body parts of his away with them every time they left. It confused me for a long time.

I used to believe that in the Christmas song "Winter Wonderland" that the words were "later on, we'll perspire, as we sit by the fire" instead of "later on, we'll conspire, as we dream by the fire." I would get some chuckles by family members when we would sing this song. Even though know the real words now, I still prefer to sing it my way.

I used to believe…

My son learned to sing Ba ba Black Sheep in preschool and sang very loudly for his grandmother - - one for the bastard, one for the dame one for the little boy who lives down the lane...

I used to believe…

For the "Family Guy" theme song there's several mistakes i made until i looked it up online-

where it says "lucky there's a family guy" i thought it said "puffy is a family guy"

and where it says "all the things that make us laugh and cry" i thought it was "all the things that make us effin' cry"

I used to believe…

My friend Helz has a lot of these, but my favourite was when she thought the line from Summer Nights from grease "he just turned 18" was " and he has white teeth"
It really tickled me

I used to believe…

When I was a child I believed that the lyrics in the song My Bonny Is Over The Ocean actually read My Pony Is Over The Ocean. So I thought the song was actually about some horse on a boat far far away from home.

I used to believe…

For a while, I thought that the 90s hit Common People by Pulp said "rent a fag and barber shop" instead of "rent a flat above a shop." This led to a lot of confusion over what the next line, "cut your hair and get a job" was talking about. Because if the mishearing was correct...what kind of job would the person be getting?

I used to believe…

In Shania Twains "That dont impress me much" the line where she sings

"I cant believe you kiss your car at night"

used to sound like:

"I cant believe you kiss your COCK at night"

I only found this not to be true by watching the video on daytime TV and being baffled at the fact that it hadnt been censored. Nice thought though eh??
