I used to believe…

In the song "Big Yellow Taxi", I was baffled when I heard, "Fake paradise, to put up a f***ing lie." instead of, "They paved paradise to put up a parking lot." I was surprised they'd put a song like that without censoring.

I used to think there was a special high school just for celebrities to go to, so they could get an education without being surrounded by non-celebrities that would fawn over them all day. It wasn't until I was about eleven that I learned that most celebrities are either out of school or home schooled.

I thought the words in a line of the song "Little Deuce Coupe" by The Beach Boys were "and comin' off the line when the light turns green, well, she grows the marijuana like you've never seen"! Little did I know that the line was, "well, she blows 'em outta the water like you never seen". Embarassed!!

I used to believe…

A co-worker sent me into gales of laughter when she told me she thought the lyrics in "I Am So Into You" by the Atlanta Rhythm Section were "When you walked into the room, there was doo-doo on the wall"! You should have seen her face turn red when I told her the lyrics were "When you walked into the room, there was voodoo in your vibes".

I used to believe…

One time when I was little, I heard someone singing the song "My bonnie lies over the ocean". I thought they were saying "my BUNNY" and imagined a giant humanoid rabbit sadly waving goodbye as she sailed away on a ship.

I thought "a partridge in a pear tree" was actually a cartridge in a pear tree, and I don't know why they would put a cartridge in a tree. I thought "two turtle doves" was a turtle and a dove, making two in total.

I used to think that the song "my Bonnie lies over the ocean" was actually "my body lies over the ocean", about a dead person's ghost singing about his/her floating body :/

I used to believe…

Lysics by Anastacia: I paid my dues.
Lyrics as i sang them: I paid my jews.
I just assumed the jews where bankers and she had a debt from an old loan.
Believed this until I was 15...

I used to think the Macarena was a counting song and that there was something special about the number 10. I would sing it "one maca two maca...seven maca eight maca nine Macarena Hey Macarena!"

I thought for a long time the singer Phil Collins was Asian (his voice just sounded Asian some how and I had never seen a picture of him)

I thought the song Shattered Dreams was acutaly "Shadow Dreams" and wondered what shadow dreams were

I used to believe…

My husband told me that when the song Rock Me Amadeus came out that the lyrics were "I'm potatoes I'm potatoes." I guess he used to actually sing it with his friends, who all thought the same thing, on his schoolbus

I used to believe that the song by the monkees that says "take the last train to Clarksville" actually said "take the last Santa Claus sleigh" I didn't realize my mistake until I was well into my teens

I used to believe…

When I was little, instead of singing 'Shake it like a polaroid picture' when listening to Hey Ya!, I sang 'Shake it like a bowl of raw pizza'. It's my mums ice breaker whenever she meets my friends/ boyfriends.

I used to believe…

The song: Do They Know It's Christmas Time

The lyric: Feed the World....do they know it's Christmas time..

My thought: BEEE A WEEEEEELL. DO THEY KNOW ITS CHRISTMAS TIME

I thought on the song The Safety Dance by Men Without Hats when they say "we can act real rude and totally removed and I can act like an imbecelle" was actually "we can act real rude and totally removed like an African imbecelle" and was shocked they would put that in a song because it seemed really racist!
