music

I used to believe…

When I was little my family had a record player and I just did not understand how music came from it, so I thought there were many versions of singers like Elton John, Oliva Newton John and other people in the record singing for the big ones in real life.

I used to believe…

when Destiny's Child Bug-a-Boo came out I used to hear: mBreak my knees so I can move rather than break my lease so I can move. I always wondered how she'd be able to move with broken knees... really disturbing.

I used to believe…

In the song, "passionate kisses" I thought it was 'Ashley and Kristen love me.' It made sence when I was about 5 because I had two friends named Ashley and Kristen.

I used to think that Steve Miller Band song "Joker" went "I'm a joker, I'm a smoker, I'm a midnight talker" - like he stayed up talking through the night like adults do. I didn't learn until college that it was "toker" and not "talker." My husband thinks it's totally hilarious and still makes fun of me.

I used to believe that the the Beach Boys Song went "fun fun fun til daddy took the TV away" instead of T-Bird away.

I used to believe that Aerosmith's song Dude Looks Like A Lady was called Do It Like a Lady. I always thought of "doing it" as intercourse so I was ashamed when I found out the lyrics to the song.

I as well thought that Ace of Base's "I Saw The Sign' was I Saw The Sun

I was never priviledge to know the real version of Twinkle Twinkle little star until recent. What 27 years later. The version that I know is, "Twinkle, Twinkle, little start who the hell you think you are, Up above you think you're it, won't you sit in a pile of shit... Twinkle, Twinkle little star how i wonder where you are....

I used to believe…

The song Push It by Salt n' Peppa, what I heard was "Bushy, Bushy"

I used to believe…

When I was a little younger (im 13 now)I used to belive thaT if kis rock broke up he would be kid bunch of gravel i never thought he was a real guy

I used to believe…

When my twin brother, my sister and I heard "Whoomp There It Is", we used to think it said "POOP, THERE IT IS!!!" so we'd go around everywhere, and start singing that at the top of our lungs when we heard it, cuz we thought it was the funniest thing in the world

I used to believe…

My brother once came home from work having heard a song on the radio, telling me the lyrics were "walks like his pants are too tight", as opposed to "walk like a panther tonight".

I used to believe…

When I was a young boy, my mother would sing the song "My bonnie lies over the ocean, my bonnie lies over the sea, bring back my bonnie to me." Well, I had never heard the word "bonnie" before, and when she sang "bonnie", I heard "body". To this day I have the image of a bloody, decapitated head sitting on a pier waiting for its body to come floating back across the ocean.

I used to believe…

During Catholic school I was under the impression that everyone in the United States was Catholic. This same time I believed all musicians and 80s glam bands lived in California. I merged the two concepts and would daydream about a west coast church with multiple live performances from all its celebrity parishioners.

I used to believe…

There was a popular song when I was little that had the line "Don't it make my brown eyes blue?" The singer had wonderful long hair and pretty blue eyes.

I had brown eyes and wanted bule eyes so bad. I thought the lyrics were "Donuts make my brown eyes blue." She was giving out beauty tips!! I ate lots and lots of donuts, as my waistline could confirm, but I still have brown eyes.

I used to believe…

"Wella taco body, taco body, taco body, taco body...Taco-bot, taco-bot, taco-bot moovin"

OR

"Well-a talk about it, talk about it, talk about it, talk about it...Talk about, talk about, talk about moovin"

-Funkytown by Lips, Inc.

I used to believe…

In the song Blinded By the Light, I thought the words were "wrapped up like a douche, another roller in the night". What does that mean?! I'm still not sure exactly what the words are along with a few other verses I can't make out all the words to.

I used to believe…

Remember that song by Starship "We Built This City"? My sister and I used to believe that the actual lyrics were "we built this city on ROCKS AND COAL". The true words are "we built this city on ROCK AND ROLL". We still think our version made more sense from a construction perspective...
