I used to believe…

I, like many here, used to think that Prima Donna was Pre-Madonna...I never really understood the phrase up until a few years ago (I'm 13 now) when I found out its Prima Donna

I used to believe that the UK's national anthem included the line "Send her Victoria's" instead of "Send her victorious"
I was ever so curious as to what they were sending the Queen that belonged to Victoria!
"Mummmmmyyy,send her Victoria's WHAT???"

I used to believe…

My cousin thought, when she first heard "Part of Your World" in The Little Mermaid, that instead of 'bright young women, sick of swimmin'...' it was 'pregnant women, sick of swimmin'...' We make fun of her for it to this day. ;D

I used to believe…

When I was little the song "Material Girl" by Madonna was on the radio a lot. My hearing must not have been too keen, because for more years than I care to admit I thought the song was called "Cheerio Girl." I kept wondering what, exactly, made one a Cheerio girl : P

I used to believe…

In the song "Walking in a Winter Wonderland" they pretend that the snowman is Parson Brown. I didn't know what a Parson was, so I assumed parson described a shade of brown. I couldn't figure why anyone would pretend a snowman was brown. I was even more confused as to why a brown snowman would care if a person was married. I thought it was the most senseless Christmas song in the universe.

I used to believe…

when my brother was like 4 he used to sing the ricky martin song "bailamos", but he mistook the words for "i love horse when the river makes me yellow i love horse. shake your booty and your weenie"

I used to believe…

Years ago when I had my first job I worked with a girl who thought that McCartney's "Mull of Kintyre", was called "Bollocking Time". She actually went around singing that.

I used to believe…

Dido - White Flag

Real Words - I will go down with this ship, and i will put my hands up ...

What i thought - I will go down with fishing, and i will put my hands up ...

I used to believe…

For years I used to think that Chevey Chase was Paul Simon, in that You Can Call Me Al video

I used to believe…

The first Madonna song I ever heard was "Material Girl" when I was 5. I thought she was singing "Cheerio Girl". I thought she was soo cool, because I was a girl and loved Cheerio's too.

I used to believe…

My mom used to like to sing along to the song "Honky-Tonk Women," but she didn't want to sing songs with anything vaguely resembling sexual overtones around her small children, so she changed the lyrics to say "Those Honky-Tonk Babies, Give me the honky-tonk blues." I wondered what a honky-tonk was, why there were so many babies there, and why they gave the singer the blues for the longest time before I heard the song without my mother singing along with the radio.

I used to believe…

My dad used to sing along to madonna's Erotic in the car when he was taking me and my 13 year old friends to the school disco. This in itself is cringy enough, but he used to sing
"You got it, you got it...." Instead of "Erotic, erotic" by mistake which had all my friends in silent hysterics and daring each other to tell me dad the real lyrics. I got slagged off for my dorky dad for about two years after that.
Also me and my sister used to think that the Fine Young Cannibals were singing "Milkshake, where have you gone?" instead of "Lucy". Thought they had a bit of a Macdonalds obsession

I used to think that the lyric to the ABC tune, 'Shoot that Poison Arrow' was 'Shake that Boy's Afro'

I used to think the Queen song 'Another one bites the dust' was
'Another one buys a duster'
I was really dissapointed when I heard the real lyrics!

I used to believe…

When I was a kid, my "cool" older cousins always used to listen to AC/DC and there's a song on Back In Black
(Givin' The Dog A Bone) that I used to believe had something to do with the smurfs. When they sang the chorus, I thought they were singing "Give it to Gargamo! Yeah! Give it to Gargamo!" I thought Gargamo must have been Gargamel's brother or something and that whatever "it" was, it would surely spell doom for the smurf way of life.

I used to think that the words for outkasts 'Hey ya' went 'shake it like a polaroid pizza' instead of ' shake it like a polaroid picture'
also i used to think that in the song i try by Macy Gray that it said 'I wear googgles when your are not near' instead of 'My world crumbles when you are not near' dunno why?....
