I thought the song "Rock the Casbah" by The Clash was written for my sister because I thought the lyrics in the chorus were "Charlene don't like it." My sister's name is Charlene.

I used to believe…

Tina Moore, "Never Gonna Let You Go", late 90's....
True Lyrics: "Worth more than a million in gold"
What I heard: "Football alluminium and go".
An alluminium football? How strange...

I used to think the Lyrics to Tub Thumping were " kissing the night away, kissing the night today" until a minute ago when I read someone elses belief about the song, and how they though along the smae lines...theline is "pissing the night away!

i cant remember the song it went something like i think it is i belive in miracles but i alway thought it went

i belive in macrels (a fish) where you from you sex the pain.

it actully goes
i belive in miracles, where you from you sexy thing.

oh well the mic has been taken for years.

I used to think "Don't be fooled by the rock that i go" form Jenny from the block was "Don't be fooled by the LUCKS that i got" and i realised the correct one just now! after i look at the lyrics.

I used to believe…

As a small child, my father always called me "Boog-a-loo" for some unknown reason. He's also been a fan of Nirvana for as long as I can remember.

Whenever he'd sing along to the song "Lithium" in the car he'd sing "I'm so ugly, but that's ok / cause so are you / Boog-a-loo". The correct lyrics are "I'm so ugly, but that's ok / cause so are you / we broke our mirrors"

I'm now a fan of Nirvana, and almost 15 years later, I still sing the wrong lyrics out of habit.

I thought the Franz Ferdinand song went,
"I'm just a cross-eye without you" and I thought wow, that love is so deep, how touching.
Correct lyrics:
"I'm just a crosshair away from you"

I thought the song, "Drop It Like It's Hot" by Snoop Dog said, "Drop it like a saw, drop it like a saw..." as opposed to drop it like it's hot. I was convinced he liked to kill people by dropping flaming saws on them. I'm not sure why.

I used to believe…

Up until five minutes ago, while reading your site, and breaking into song, I thought that "Big Ol' Jet Airliner" actually went "Big HOtel Carolina"
I sang the my lyrics, then the proper lyrics, and realized : I'm a doofus!
The stupid part is that I have belted that out on more than one occassion...no wonder everyone was laughing at me.

I used to believe…

Being from NC, my parents always listened to country music. There was an old Travis Tritt song that went..." I smell T-R-O-U-B-L-E." My younger sister thought it was " I spilled tea all ove you, Billy."

I used to believe…

I know I'm not alone with this one:

No matter how many times I listen to "Help Me Rhonda," by the Beach Boys, I still hear the same strange phrase at the beginning:

"Well since she put me down, there's been owls pukin' in my bed."

I just looked up the lyrics and found out they're actually: "Well since she put me down I’ve been out doin’ in my head."

HUH?! That makes even less sense! I'm going to stick with my version.

I used to believe…

tubthumping-a great confusing song

"I get no time, but I get overtime, still everybody beats me down...This is for Johnny-Boy.."

I am so wrong,
"I get knocked down, but I get up again, nobody gonna keep me down....Pissing the night away.."

I thought until TODAY, reading this excellent site, that Toto's "Africa" went "I guess it rains down in Africa" Not "I bless the rains down in Africa"
Thank you!

I used to believe…

Okay, this is going to sound weird, but I used to believe that Queen's song "Bohemian Rhapsody" went: "Spare him his life in this monastary" not "Spare him his life from these monstrosities." I only found this out yesterday when I sang my lyrics at the top of my lungs, and I'm 22!

I used to believe…

it's gonna be a bright, bright, bright: bright sunshinin' dayyyyyyyyyyyy!

up until a few months ago i thought that it was:
it's gonna be a bright, bright, bright: bright sunshine in bed.

I used to believe…

when i was two i believed that when my mom put a tape into the tape player it would send a signal to the singer and wherever they were they would have to suddenly start singing the song in exactly the same way
