music

I believed until recently that Queen's "we will rock you" when they say " waving your banner all over the place", that they actually sang "Blood and mud's all over the place"

I used to think that record players were connected to special phone booths. The singers on record albums would wait in those booths, then sing into the telephone receiver when you played their songs.

I used to believe…

when i was younger my dad used to listen to Don Henley all the time. my brother and i would turn it up and dance around like crazy to the songs he played. we used to ask him, "daddy, will you turn on John Henry?" We seriously thought his name was John Henry. My parents never corrected us. They must've thought it was pretty funny.

i used to thnk the lyrics to the winnie th pooh song was "tubby little tummy all stuffed with farts" when it is really stuffed with "fluff"

I used to believe…

When I was younger, I used to think that there was a song with the lyrics "I'm blue, and indeed I have died, and indeed I have died, and indeed I have died", but then I got hold of the lyrics telling me they sang "da ba dee da ba die da ba dee da ba die". I wondered why people gave me funny looks when i was 10...

I used to believe that there was a prince song about a RED SPHERICAL DRESS, the kind you find in a second hand store...
I believed it until I heard someone call this song by another name on the radio this morning. I am 25.

I used to believe…

When I was young and naive, my parents listening to rock music on the radio, I would often wonder what Eric Clapton's lady-friend had against the fine state of Washington... because I could hear him singing, loud and clear to me anyway, that "She don't like, she don't like, she don't like... Spokane."

At least I know better now... And I sometimes wonder why my parents exposed me to this sort of music when I was younger. (I listened to The Doors when I was 4...) Oh well. I don't smoke, drink, or do drugs, so I don't suppose it's hurt me any!

I used to believe…

Ahhh, yes, I remember it well. It was a sultry summer day in the middle of August... or maybe it was a chilly yet sunny winter afternoon... OK, perhaps not so well, but I remember being in the kitchen, and the radio was playing. My little sister was listening to it. She went out of the room momentarily during the commercials, and while she was out, the songs came back on. Their choice? Counting Crow's cover of "Big Yellow Taxi," but Joni Mitchell.

I was instantly mortified. Although I knew that SOME songs with bad words in them got routine radio airplay, such as "Big Old Jet Airliner," I was POSITIVE that a song using THAT word couldn't get played. I instantly turned the radio down, so my little sister wouldn't have to hear how they paid Paradise to put up a "f---ing lie."

I didn't realize my mistake until the song came on again while we were in the car, and I noticed the curious lack of freakingoutitude in my mom. I thankfully lisened closer that time and learned that the real lyrics were, in fact, "they paid Paradise to put up a parking lot."

For some strange reason, I never met the homosexual lovers that most people seem to hear in this refrain. Huh.

I used to believe…

When i was younegr i always that their were 2 michael jacksons- the white mj and the black mj- i thought about that up until i was about 10... then i realized there was only 1 michael jackson

I used to love the song "Killing Me Softly", until my dad heard the line "killing me softly with his song" and misheard it as "killing me softly with his thong". I can no longer take it seriously; I burst out laughing every time I hear it.

I used to think that the words in Macy Grey's song - "I try to run away but I stumble" were "I try to run away to Istanbul"
And also in Wheatus' song, Teenage Dirtbag, where it says "I've got to tickets to Iron Maiden baby" I thought it was "I've got to tickets to Irelande baby"

I used to believe…

That in "Superman" by Stereophonics, the line goes "you got a penis but you ain't got news"

i kept on wondering why that matters. i've seen lots of male news presenters.

I think it's meant to be "opinions" but it doesnt sound that way...

I used to believe…

When my twin sister was small she once started shouting out "Piss off Honey, how we don't talk any more", from the ever popular Cliff Richard song!

I used to believe…

My husband used to think the lycrics to Winter Wonderland in the meadow we can build a snowman then pretend that he's a passing clown!
The actuall words being then pretend that he is parson Brown

I thought the words to Sham 69's HURRY UP HARRY were hurry up harry camel we all going down the pub!! great delight to my husband over the years;D

I used to think the song "Nights in White Satin" was about Knights, I remember thinking how impractical it was to wear satin on horseback and how they might get hurt without armour on.
