I used to believe…

"Tenth Avenue Freeze Out" by Bruce Springsteen was "Tell the devil 'You can freeze out!'". Come to think of it, the actual lyrics make less sense than my imaginary ones...

I thought that The Beach Boys were a school band made up of people in my brother's year. In 1994, I was quite shocked (and confused) to learn that one of them had died in 1983...

I used to believe…

Me and my friends were making fun of the song "Collide". and instead of singing "When you and I... Collide" we would sing, "When you and I... and Clyde" Well, my one friend sang it that way when she was listening to it on the radio with her mom, and now her mom thinks that's how it goes, so now her mom sings about clyde all the time!

I used to believe that the song 'right here waiting for you' was 'a building right here waiting for you'..

I also thought that the song by Mercy Playground said 'like a double sheppards pie', when it really says 'like a double cherry pie'.

But the funniest would have to be my bro singing 'do you believe in love like a dove'.. instead of 'do you believe in love after love'.

i used to believe that in that song "radio killed the radio star" ment that radio was a person who killed another radio and that radios could come to life. Neadless to say, I was a little afraid of radios.

I used to believe…

Listening to the Rascals' Grooving I though the words "you and me, endlessly" were "you and me and Leslie"..

fucked up a bit...huhhhh

I used to believe…

Well I hate to admit but I misheard these lyrics just this year and I am not a kid (30ish). The song "Mr. Brightside" from The Killers came on the radio and I was singing at the top of my lungs that last phrase as "Viagraaaaa...Viagraaaa" when my fiance burst out laughing. Turns out the actual phrase is "I neveerrrr...I neveeerrr." To this day we still joke about the "Viagra song" when it comes on the radio!

I only found out today that the line in the bon jovi song Always goes
'It's nothing but some feelings this old dog kicked up.'

I've always though he said 'It's nothing but some feelings, this old time kid up' And now I know why it never seemed to make any sence.

I used to believe…

My friend thought that the song "beautiful soul," when he sings, "you're the one i want to chase," she thought it was "you're the one i want to taste." i was laughing at her forever

I used to believe…

My church has a traditon; every Sunday morning, everyone who has had a birthday during the week goes to the front of the church while the congregation sings 'Happy Birthday' to them. Only we had a slightly different version of Happy Birthday to make it 'church appropriate'. It went; "Happy Birthday to you, happy birthday to you, god bless you and keep you, another year through."

I thought until quite recently 'God bless you and keep you' was 'God bless you, Ankie Beau'. I figured 'Ankie Beau' was another one of those weird, archaic phrases like those in the hymn book.

I used to believe…

When my brother was younger, around the age of 6, he got hooked by Bon Jovi's song, Livin' On A Prayer. He started singin' along to it, nailing every single lyric, until it got to the part where it said, "We're half way there, OHHH, livin on a prayer, take my hand, we'll make it I swear, OHHH, livin' in a prayer" His version went as follows: "Oh, we're half way there, OHHH, livin' on a bear, in my head, we're makin' a square, OHHH, livin' on a bear"

I love Avril Lavigne and the lyrics to one of her songs are:

If I could say what I wanna say
I'd say I wanna blow you away!
Be with you every night!
Am I squeezin' you too tight?
If I could say what I see,
I wanna see you go down on one knee
Marry me today! Guess I'm wishin' my life away...
With these things I'll never say.

My mom heard:

If I could say what I wanna say
I'd say I wanna blow you all day!
Be with you every night!
Am I squeezin' it too tight?
If I could say what I see,
I wanna see you go down on me.
Marry me today! Guess I'm wishin' my life away...
With these things I'll never say.

She was pissed till I showed her the lyrics from the CD cover... heehee!

I used to believe…

When the Bee Gee's Song "More than a Woman" first came out, I thought they were saying "Four Letter Woman".... Knowing that I had to be hearing it wrong, I asked a radio DJ friend who laughed and said "No it's More than a Woman, but my buddy had it more wrong than you... he thought is was BALD HEADED WOMAN!

I used to believe…

This is not my belief, but my 11 yr. old daughters. She has a neighborhood friend who takes guitar lessons and since I play as well , she ask me if I could play "slow cousin Walter"! Without hesitation I said yes , then I realized what she had asked me , I tried to correct her but my laughing kept me from doing so! I'll never hear Smoke on the Water the same again!

I used to believe…

There's a line in "you're So Vain" by Carly simon that goes "wife of a close friend, wife of a close friend." My friends and I were listening to it one day and I said, "What does ploseman mean?" My friend London looked at me and said, "That's not a word." "Yes it is," I argued. "Ok, maybe it's postman," I relented a bit. So my friend Deziza went on dictionary.com and looked up ploseman and as you can probably guess, it's not a word. So then Lndon looked uo the lyrics and guess what, it was "close friend". I like my way better though.

I used to believe that in the chorus of the Michael Jackson song Dangerous, he said, Dangerous! oh, spaghetti-o's dangerous. It really is the girl is so dangerous.
