I used to believe…

While in college a tori amous song came on the radio i couldnt figure out the words, a friend told me they were "got a big dick?" for months thats what i was singing until another friend pointed out that shes actually singing "got to be big" how mortifing is that? ;)

I used to believe…

My dad has always been a clever and imaginative guy. When my brother and I were around 7 or 8 years old, we were riding in the back seat of the car. My dad in the driver's seat started singing, "Wellllll, who put the bop in the bop-she-bop-she-bop, who put the ram in the ram-a-lam-a-ding-dong...." My brother and I just thought that Daddy was the weirdest human being ever for inventing such a silly song as that. And no matter what he or my mother in the front seat of the car said, they could not convince us any differently. It wasn't until at least a couple of years later (maybe more?) that I finally heard the song on the radio and it dawned on me. I stood there for a full two minutes, dumbfounded that it's actually a REAL song!

I used to believe…

In the Song "In Your Eyes" I always used to believe that when Peter Gabriel sand "In your eyes, the lige the heat your eyes, I am complete" I thought that he said "in your eyes the light the heat your eyes, your smelly feet" and I was corrected about this 2 days ago...my 17th birthday

I used to believe…

During the song "Bad Moon Rising" by Creedence Clearwater Revival, there's a line that goes "There's a bad moon on the rise." Well, until recently, my ENTIRE FAMILY sang "There's a bathroom on the right!" and we all referred to it as "The Bathroom on the Right Song", thinking other people knew what we were talking about.

I used to believe…

Well my Little cousin Connor was singing along to Blazin Squads "Crossroads" when I decided he perform infront of my Mum, well we couldnt stop laughing when Connor started singing
"eat me at the cross-bow..cross-bow" instead of
"meet me at the crossroads..crossroads"

I used to believe…

My friend used to sing a song she loved when she was young. It really goes "I am strong, I am invincible, I am woman...". But she used to sing "I am strong! I am invisible! I am woman!" She thought that being invisible was one of the woman's powers... :)

I STILL think that the All-American Rejects' song goes "Swing swing swing from a tablesaw..." (Although after reading some of these I understand it's supposed to be ...from the TANGLES OF...) yeah...

I used to believe…

you know the song 'i beleive in miracles' by hot chocolate? well my brother used to sing 'i beleive in bircones'...whats a bircone?! and you know the song 'whats my age again' by blink 182? well my mate sang 'wheres my agent friend'!!! and the song 'lifestyles of the rich and famous' by good charlotte? well for the line 'Well they've got mansions, Think we should rob them' i always sing 'well they could mention, then we could rob them' even though i now know the real lyrics!!

I used to believe…

The line, "Every time you go away, you take a piece of me, with you." My friends and I used to think that it said, "you take a piece of meat with you." Thats romantic. Meat. We were 7, we didnt have a clue. It coulda been meat.

I used to believe…

The words of the theme song of the Flintstones always eluded me. I thought they said,"Flintstones we're the Flintstones, we're the mon-historic family. That's right, out of Bedrock they're a place right out in this story. Then we'll see the family on the street then we will see Fred's transwell feet. Flintstones we're the flintstones etc. etc."
Don't ask me what 'transwell feet' are...many they "transport you well"?
Anyhoo...I've got the REAL words now...what a disappointment!

I used to sing a LOT of songs wrong: "Take your pants down and make it happen" instead of "take your passion" (Flashdance theme)
"Silence like a casserole" instead of "cancer grows" - makes more sense doesn't it? (Sound of Silence)
Also thanks to my dad who fanices himself a bit like Weird Al: "There's a bathroom on the right" (Bad Moon on the Rise)
"I fought your ma and your ma won" was a lot more believable to me than "I fought the law and the law won"

I used to believe…

When I was about 8, I heard my sister and her friend talk about some rapper who had been shot (probably Tupac). for some weird reason I thought they were talking about Puff Daddy (P. Diddy) and so I thought he was dead. you can immagine my confusion when I heard of P. Diddy a few years later.

I used to believe…

The Killers 'Somebody told me'contains the line 'never thought I'd let a rumour ruin my moonlight'. My friend Liza decided she could never like a song with the word 'rumaroo' in it. She thought the lyric was 'Never thought I'd let a rumaroo in my moonlight' She's strange.

I used to believe…

my parents were always confused when as a little kid i always wanted to hear the beatles song "can't bonnie love". once i could read i figured out it was "can't buy me love", but it took me a while.

I used to believe…

Jingle bells...

I used to believe until I was about 22 that in Jingle bells it was a "one horse soap and sleigh". My husband politely informed me it's "one horse OPEN sleigh..."
I never really thought about it but was so very embarrassed when he told me what it really was.
*duh* PFFFFTTTTTTTT!

I used to believe…

In the Beach Boy's Kokomo, instead of that Monserrat mystique....I always thought they were saying Vermont's a rotten state. I still can't bring myself to sing it correctly.

i used to believe the song by daniel beddingfield wrap your words around me or whatever it is went "is it right to bring her solids in the morning" when it's acutally "is it right to bring her sonnets in the morning"
