When I was younger i always used to shock my folks by singing Adam & The ants song 'Prince Charming' why were they shocked? well my version was 'prince charming, prince charming, see his goolies they're nothing to be scared of' instead of 'ridicule is nothing to be scared of' oops

I used to believe…

in the offspring song "bad habit" they say "take him out" kind of muffled. my friends and i always used to think it sounded more like "drink your milk" and wrote a corresponding parody.

I used to believe…

When my sister and I where young, we used to sing in the 'Imagination' song 'Just an Illusion': 'pudding in je bek', what is Dutch for 'pudding in your mouth' instead of 'could it be that'.

I used to believe…

My sister and I used to sing a song "Little Liza Jane". To this day she claims it was "Little Eyes of Jade" because it was about a green eyed child.
We are now in our 70s and she is as adamant as ever, but we don't fight over it anymore.

In the Roxy Music record, Lets stick together", I thought the words "consider our child" were consider "Rothschild". I couldn't understand why they were signing about wine

I used to believe…

You know the song from queens we will we will rock you? Well I used to think it was swinging your bladder all over the plact singing we will we will rock you.........I figured it out later.

I remember the first time I witnessed seeing Michael Jackson was in his music video for Free Willy. And, he being Michael Jackson, I could not figure out whether it was a man or a woman singing. What with his long hair, tight pants and high nasal voice...
I was absolutely astounded when my sister told me he was a man. To tell you the truth, I would have been astounded if she told me he was a woman. He looked damn nasty either way!

I used to believe…

A while back, The Wallflowers had a popular song on the radio, it was called "One Headlight."
The (real) chorus goes: "But me and Cinderella, put it all together."
One day, while in the car with 4 of my friends, that song came on. I began to sing it at the top of my lungs. When the chorus came (and I was belting it out) my friends started hysterically laughing. They asked me to sing the chorus, and being the good sport that I am, I obliged. I sang, "The incinerator, put it all together." They actually had to pull the car over because they were laughing so hard! They never corrected me, instead they would ask me to sing it for whoever we knew. I thought that they were impressed by my singing voice.
Later, they told me the truth. They had allowed me to make a fool of myself for nearly a year! What's that old saying? "With friends like these, who needs enemies?"

I used to believe…

My nephew used to sing Mary Chapin-Carpenters' "Passionate Kisses" as "Ashes and Fishes"

And I thought Elton John, in Bennie and the Jets, was saying "She's got electric boobs, I know it's true". :p

I used to believe…

In Eminem's 'Cleaning Out My Closet' I heard...'before I had a monkey platinum selling CD' when the real lyrics are, 'before i ever had a MULTI platinum selling CD.' For the longest time I couldn't figure out what monkeys had to do with CD's.

I used to believe…

When she was little, my mom thought that "Winter Wonderland" was actually "Winter Underwear." Too bad nobody told her differently BEFORE she sang it in front of the entire church.

I used to believe…

R.E.M.'s Its the End of the World As We Know It went
"A tournament, a tournament, a tournament of lies"
But I heard it, until a few days ago as
"A turn of mints, a turn of mints, a turn of mints applies"

i used to think that the band members of Slipknot were monsters! i always dreamt that they were going to eat me so i used to roll over to my sister's bed for comfort!

I used to believe…

our headmistress once told us that elvis presley was always called elvis pelvis cause he always shaked his hips whenever he performed. i always used to think that when he was little!

i used to think that everyone on Top Of The Pops I saw always came from the United Kingdom. But then I realised that loads of different popstars come from different countries

I used to believe…

on bbc 2 (a TV channel in the UK), there is a man who works on the channel called Michael Jackson! It is scary because I sometimes think that it is the real popstar working on there!
