I used to believe…

When I was about 5, I thought the lyrics to the song "Aquarius", by The 5th Dimension, said "Angels aquarium" instead of "Age of Aquarius"

I used to believe…

Ever since I was little i never knew the real words to Twinkle Twinkle little Star. So this is the only way I Know it: Twinkle Twinkle Little Star...... Who the Fuck 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............. How am I going to teach my kids in the future the real one??

I used to think that the lyrics for AC/DC's "Dirty deeds done dirt cheap" were "Dirty deeds in the Dunder Jeep." I thought the "dunder jeep" was a cross between a jeep and a dune buggy, and pictured these people driving around in it committing crimes. I don't think I realized the proper lyrics until I was almost 20.

When i first saw the silverchair - freak video, i thought daniel johns (the singer) was the guy from hanson but grown up.

I used to believe…

When I was little, I loved Amy Grant. She had a song that said "he had the biggest King James you've ever seen." All along, I thought that meant he had the biggest penis you'd ever seen. I had no idea it was referring to the King James version of the Bible.

I used to believe…

Before I had ever heard Andrea Bocelli sing, I thought it was a woman. After I found out it was actually an italian singer I liked his music and bought his cd. When my little brother asked who he was I told him he was a singer and that he was blind, my brother, inocent as he was asked "How does he know what to sing if he can't read the lyrics"

I used to believe…

When I was little, I heard the love song by KC, and Jojo. I thought it was a beautiful song, but it sure was weird. (partially because I didn't know what the hell they were talking about)

Instead of the phrase: "I promised Id never fall in love with a stranger." I heard it as:"He'd promised he'd never fall in love with his finger."

And instead of the phrase: "I will never find another lover sweeter than you, sweeter than you"

I heard: "Kyle'll never find another lugger keener than Jew, keener than Jew."

Boy was a embarassed when I was assgined to sing it at a Valentine's Day party without the words backing me up.

I used to believe…

When I first heard Aerosmith's "Just push play" I thought he said "I just turned gay" I was like, how did you just figure that out? lol

I used to believe…

For years during my childhood (I'd have been between 8-12 ish) I thought the chorus line in J Geils Band's 'Centrefold' was 'My girlfriend is the centre forward'. Have a listen, it's not impossible to get wrong!

I used to believe…

There used to be an Elvis Presley song called "Let Me Be there". It had a line "let me take you that wonderland where only two can share." I used to think he said "let me take you to that laundromat..." Hmm. a romantic date of doing laundry!!

I used to believe…

in "another saturday night" by cat stevens. i heard "i got some money cause i just got paid" as "i got some money cause i just got laid"

I used to believe…

Another eighties hit that goes "I got my mind set on you..."
On the bus from kindergarten until third grade, whenever the song would come on the whole bus would sing ...SIT ON YOU" But it wasn't until I was 16 that I realized it wasn't really how it went...damn kids...

I used to believe…

Instead of Money Money- the huge eighties hit, I to this day only hear "like a pony" and I have never known any of the other words.

I used to believe…

when i was small, i used to think the christmas song, the 12 days of christmas, had the words..

'on the first day of xmas my tulip sent to me.' instead of my 'true love'!!

i still find myself singing it to this day!!(quite a few years later!!)

I used to believe…

when britney spears song 'baby, one more time' came out first, my sister thought the words 'oh baby baby' were really 'um buy them, buy them' and insisted on singing it at the top of her voice!!

needless to say she was embarassed when i proved that it was in fact wrong!!

I used to believe…

The first time I heard the word "pedestal" was in Anne Murray's song, "You Needed Me", in which she sings "You put me high upon a pedestal". For a long time I thought a pedestal was some kind of drug, and the line meant that somebody slipped her one and got her "high" on it.
