I thought the lyrics to the Bee Gees song 'how deep is your love' that went...
and you come to me on a summer's breeze
was....
and you come to me on a submarine!
Well it is about how deep is your love!!!

I used to believe…

in Marc Cohns Walkin in Memphis , i used to sing "saw the ghost of elvis and you you never knew" until i was told it was actually "saw the ghost of elvis on union avenue" doh

I used to believe…

When I was little I though that skinheads were rascist...then I got into the punk scene and realized they're just working class people-hair short, boots for work, clean look-and during the 80's their look was stolen by white pride jerks, so that's why everyone thinks they're nazis.

I used to believe…

Someone wrote...
"in the song SWAY (song 2 in 'sticky fingers' album) by the Rolling Stones, i used to think the chorus went: "It's just that needle I forgot you in its sway", when he (mick jagger) really sings: "It's just that demon life that's got me in its sway"....

Actually my dad, who is a huge Rolling Stones fan, swears that it is "It's just that needle I forgot you're in it's sway." Or at least thats what he heard back in the day...

I used to think the song "Bandages" by hot hot heat,said "blame the jews, blame the jews,blame the jews" It actually says "Bandages,Bandages,Bandages". I still sing the other lyrics though.

I used to believe…

A friend of mine used to think that "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" was "Snoopy is quite a guy!" Apparently I'm not the only one at the time that thought the Lucy he was referring to was from Charlie Brown

I used to believe…

When my sister was 3 or 4 she loved the song "Wanted" by Alan Jackson..but instead of singing the lyrics "wanted, one good hearted woman"..she would sing "wanted, one good hard-headed woman"..I could never get her to say it the right way!

I used to believe The Who were named for the programme 'Doctor Who'. Vic Reeves and Bob Mortimer must have thought the same because they did a sketch on 'Shooting Stars' where four incarnations of the Doctor were singing and playing 'My Generation'!

I used to believe…

When I was young I thought that only people in Texas had heard of Michael Jackson. This of course was when Thriller came out. When I went to Florida to visit my family I was shocked to find out that he was also quite popular elsewhere.

I used to believe…

In the Daddy Cool song "Eagle Rock" I used to hear:
"Doing the Peter Rock"
Instead of:
"Doing the Eagle Rock"

I used to believe…

My friends and I would sing "Kokomo" by the Beach Boys all the time in school.

I used to think the line "that monserrat mystique" actually was "I wants a rotten steak!"

I used to believe…

It wasn't until recent years I realized after my wife's several hours of laughter that the lyrics for PM Dawn's "Die Without You" was far from "Die Without Shoes"... however she quickly agreed it might have been better written that way :-/

I used to believe…

It really sounds like Air Supply sings "You can take the darkness from the pit of the night, and turn it to a bacon double tuna surprise" my friend replayed it over and over again to convince me of the real words "You can take the darkness from the pit of the night, and turn it to a beacon burning endlessly bright" in "Was it Nothing at all"

My husband thinks the Beatles sing "Michelle, my belle" with the lyrics "Play piano song" instead of the French words "Tres bien en semble" or whatever.

I used to believe…

When I was a child, I used to believe the song "Walking in a Winter Wonderland" was called (and sung) "Walking in my Winter Underwear" ... I think it just made sense to me.

I used to believe…

My husband and I have a fun game we play during long road trips. If we hear an old 80s song, we'll declare an "all sing" where we have to sing along. So one trip I declare an "all sing" to the Flashdance themesong "Maniac" and I hear my husband belting out "She's a maniac, maniac on the go".

It's supposed to be this stripper who is an incredible dancer, but he sings it like she's a busy soccer mom running errands. Every time he tells me I'm a maniac about something, I'll ask him if I'm also 'on the go'.

I used to believe…

Remember the song "Dirty Deeds"? I used to sing it "Dirty Deeds and the Thunder Chief". When the song came on the radio last year, I asked my husband what on earth they were saying because by then I figured out that maybe "Thunder Chief" didn't make much sense. I still sing it wrong.

Another one: "Hey little thing let me light your candle 'cause momma I'm sure I'm Don Henley now".
