I used to believe…

in the song "i kissed a girl" i used to sing "i kissed a girl her lips were sweet, she was just like kissing meat" insted of "she was just like kissing me". i never understood why meat wasnt sweet.

I used to believe…

Ever since I was little,I thought that the man sung about in "Come a little bit closer" by Jay Black and the Americans had a very good reason to dance with the other man's girl since I thought the song went "she belonged to bad man Jose" instead of "She belonged to that man Jose" So naturally if Jose was such a bad man, she deserved this other guy.

I used to think (I was about 7) that the Spice Girl's song "Tell Me What You Want" was "Minni Miini Maa" or some other dememted thing. I went around singing nonsense lyrics thinking I was "oh so cool". "Minni minni maa maa oh ma, yo minni maa.." SO stupid..and I never even understood the weird glances I was recieving until about 5 years later!

I saw on the misheard lyrics pages a few weeks ago someone who submitted their versions of some shakin steven's songs and thought they were really funny, so I thought I'd send you some of mine because as a kid I used to think he was awful and my brother hated him, so here goes,

1)'I'll be Crucified' -actual song 'I'll be satisfied'
2) Because I bug you -real title 'Because I love you
3)'what do you wanna make those pies for me for'-what do you want to make those eyes at me for'
4)'Say ta ra ta ra'-Que sera sera
5)'Turning gay' -Turning away
6) 'Dipstick,elvis you aint'-lipstick, powder & paint
7) 'got lumpy graaavy' -you drive me crazy
8)'I need a wee' -'Marie marie

yes, we really did used to sing these lyrics instead of the proper ones, ours are better and much funnier we think.

I used to believe…

when we were younger and first heard that adamski song 'killer'the line where he says 'solitary brother, solitary sister' or something like that, we honestly thought he was singing 'dance with me mother, dance with me sister'
we often wondered why the hell he was singing a song about dancing with his mum and his sister? yeah true that is.

I used to believe…

My friend's four-year old daughter sang us some lyrics from the OutKast song "Hey Yeah". They sing "shake it like a Polaroid picture", but my friend's daughter proudly sang it as: "Shake it like a POLAR BEAR picture". We didn't correct her, and now we sing it that way, too.

I used to believe…

jimmy hendrix sang "'scuse me while i kiss this guy"... which later turned out to be "'scuse me while i kiss the sky"....

and was it mariah carey? "oh i can't forget the semen on your face as you were leaving". and then i got my mind out of the gutter, and it was "oh i can't forget this evening, or your face as you were leaving"

I used to think the Aaron Carter song "I want Candy" was about sex, lol.

I used to believe…

Until recently, when I realized it didn't make any sense, I thought the words to Michael Jackson's "Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough" were:
Keep on doin' the porn star stuff,
Don't stop 'til you get enough!

(the real words are Keep On With The Force Don't Stop...)

I used to believe…

After hearing a Robbie Williams song, i cant remember which one it was, i was most confused. 'Shake your ass, come over here' in my mind somehow turned into 'shake your askum over here' I was so confused until I finally plucked up the courage and asked my mum what an askum was. she started laughing hysterically. Then I realised. Im still teased.

I heard the song Tiny Dancer by Elton John when "Who's the Boss" was popular. I thought a verse of the song went, "Hold me close I'm Tony Danza". But actual it's, "Hold me closer Tiny Dancer".

I used to believe…

Till I was 14 I thought the words that were repeated at the end of the song "Smells Like Teen Spirit"(a denial) were "rock will die, yo!". I kept wondering why Kurt Cobain was saying that rock would die, since it never will, and by the "yo", was he predicting that rap would take over rock?

I always thought the opening lyrics to "Burnout" by Green Day were, "I declare a nuclear war" instead of "I declare I don't care no more." I could never figure out how this had relevance to the rest of the song...

I used to believe…

When I was little, I thought the song 7 Nation Army went like this:
"I'm gonna fight em off, the salvation army couldn't hold me back"
and the song that goes "My boy's gonna play in the big leagues" was "My boys gonna play in the dippy"
I also thought the song that goes "S'cuse me, while i kiss the sky" was "S'cuse me, while i kiss this guy"
I was a weeeeeeeird kid..

I thought America the Beautiful was written for me because my name is "Erika". I thought they were singing "I'm Erika, I'm Erika. God shed his grace on me."
No wonder I'm in therapy ...

I used to believe…

When my son Liam, who is nearly 17 now, was little he always used to sing his version of the Los Lobos song 'La Bamba' as 'la la la bamba, spaghetti meatballs, the bigga banana' it always made me and his dad fall about in fits of laughter
