I used to believe…

There was this song in the "Grease II" movie that Michelle Pfeiffer sang called "Cool Rider". there was this part in the song where she spelled the words COOL and RIDER...
I thought she was singing:
"I need a C-O-O-S, R-I-E-E-R"
I could never figure out what a Coos Rieer was.

I used to believe…

My best friend until a year ago would sing 'Israeli men! Hallelujah!' instead of 'It's raining men! Hallelujah!'. She's 22.

She also used to think the song 'Where have all the cowboys gone?' was 'Where have all the punjabs gone?'. I have no idea where this preoccupation with ethinic men has come from!

I used to think the song "love the one you're with" was called "love the one, your win.

I used to think that the Michael Jackson song 'Black Or White' sang 'fingering my baby' instead of 'thinking bout my baby', I also heard 'why did it end?' in Remember the Time as 'I did 'it' in' and I thought the line in Beat It was 'fucky' rather than 'funky'.

I really did believe Elton john was singing 'someone shaved my wife tonight' and was mortified years later to find it was actually 'someone saved my life tonight'

I used to believe that the lyric

'No woman no cry'

Meant if you didn't have a girlfriend then you would never cry.

Listen to it its still works.

I used to believe that the lyrics to an old song my mum sang were "take my hand, I'm a strange looking parasite" !! :)

I used to believe…

the sheryl crow song "all i wanna do, is have some fun..."
it was only until a short while ago i figured out what she was saying "until the sun comes up over sani-moni-cupple-a-vord"
nothing to do with santa monica then?

*idiot*

I used to believe…

in the music hit by macey gray, my partner once brought up that he wasnt sure of the lyrics, and sang to me:

"i try to say goodbye and i choke,
try to walk away and i stumble,
no point trying to hide it, its clear,
i wear goggles when you are not there."

and yes, if you listen to the song, it does sound like shes singing about goggles.

I used to believe…

When I first heard that Justin Timberlake song ROCK YOUR BODY I really thought he was saying "I WANNA F*CK YOUR BODY BABY" when really he was saying "I WANNA ROCK YOUR BODY". lol.

I used to believe…

My friend Liz used to think that the lyric from Macy Gray's I Try was 'I wear goggles when you are not here' instead of 'My world crumbles when you are not here'. I laughed at her, until I heard the song again and have to admit that it does sound like Macy is singing Liz's version!

I used to believe…

Tee hee! This is a great website! Toto's song "Africa" seems to prove a popular one for completely misunderstanding the lyrics...and heres another to add to the collection. I thought " I bless the rains down in Africa" was in fact - "I left my brains down in Africa!" The fact that I thought anyone was fortunate enough to have more than one is beyond me! My sister was and still is, the bright spark of the family (you could say "brain/brains" of the outfit)and thought it hilariously amusing to make me sing it in front of my family and only letting on afterwards, that the lyrics were in fact totally incorrect! Bye allx

I used to think that the lyrics to John Foggerty's 'Centrefield' were...'Booby and Co, They're ready to play today' My sister ripped it out of me fo that one.

I also thought Mr Bump had stripes - instead of what were obviously bandages. I was put right at 17!

I used to believe…

One day a friend of a friend came around to our house and said "I really love that song 'Wopupafarbu'.None of us knew which song she meant and we were so puzzled that we asked her to sing it to us. It transpired that she actually meant the old early house music song "Pump up the volume"

I used to think Estelles song Free started with the lyrics everybody puts your tits in the air. I only believed it was ''fists'' when my friend printed the lyrics off the net for me. Still think tits is better though

I used to believe…

A mate of mine used to think that the Lyric from Jamiroquai's 'canned heat'
'ive got canned heat in my heels tonight baby'
was in fact:
'ive got candy in my ears tonight baby'
this was about 3 years agao and now he's a scientist. oh dear.
