I used to believe…

remember that song "tubthumper" by chumbawamba? well, i used to think that they were saying "i get no doubt, but i can over-get it". turns out that they were actually saying "i get knocked down, but i get up again". i felt like a complete idiot when i found the correct lyrics online a few years ago! how i came up with "over-get", i'll never know :D

I used to think that AC/DC stood for the first letters of the band members' names. Oh, how mistaken I was.

I also thought that the Rolling Stones were stone rollers, (which meant the rolled stones down hills as a hobby) Rob Zombie was actually a ghost story called "Rob the Zombie," and that Michael Jackson was best friends with Prince. o_O I was a wierd kid. (Still am, I'm 12 now. ^^;)

I used to believe…

The 4 Non-Blondes song "What's Up" contains a lyric that says "I pray every single day." As a teenager I sang from the bottom of my lungs "I pray to St. Cote." Don't know who that particular Saint is, but the lyrics still sound like that to me.

I used to think that in the song "Shameless" by Garth Brooks, he was singing "I'm SHAVIN'" instead of "I'm shameless"...

I used to believe…

When my son was about 4 or so, the song "Save Tonight" was on the radio all of the time. The line "save tonight, and fight the break of dawn" was sung by him as "save tonight, w dot com"!

I use to believe that in the country song (or 98 degrees song) "I do" went "I do, Cherry Shoe" not "I do, Cherish you"

I used to hear Tears for Fears 'Everybody wants to rule the world' was 'everybody wants to hold your hand'

I heard a Billy Joel song that went "You may be right, I may be crazy" as "you make the rice, I'll make the gravy". Also, until reading on here, I thought the Sir Mix-Alot song "Big Butts" said "Oooh Rumpelstiltskin" not "I wanna rub you smooth skin" as well.

I used to believe…

in the song "inch by inch, row by row; I'm gonna make this garden grow. All it takes is a rake and a hoe and a piece of fertile ground." I thought that "all it takes is a rake and a hoe" was "all it takes is oregeno"

I used to believe that Michael Jackson was a girl, just with really small boobies. He took his shirt off in one of his videos and I didn't know what boobies were either...

I used to believe that Elton John was singing "If someone saved my life tonight, 'sugar bear.'"

Song: "If Someone Saved My Life Tonight"

I used to believe…

When songs came on the radio, adults would say, 'Oh, that's by so-and-so.' I was amazed they knew so much, and scared that knowing who sang what songs was something you were forced to memorize in school.

I used to believe…

When I was growing up, I happened to see something on TV about Madonna. This was when she was going through her "Marilyn Monroe" phase, and the people on the TV show made a big deal of this. Somehow, this gave me the impression that Madonna was a group, and not an individual performer, and the lead singer of this group was named Marilyn Monroe. So, when I read somewhere that Marilyn Monroe had died in 1960 or thereabouts, I was extremely confused...

I always thought that that freaky song,"Barbie Girl" was sayin' : I'm a BOBBY girl, livin' in uh Bobby woooorrrld! " Little did she know that I had a crush on a guy named Bobby at the time. Hmmm. Intelestink.

I used to believe…

My boyfriend when he was little used to like queen and there was one song they did that went something like "be already,be already" (thats what i thought it was when i was little)or something like that but he used sing "Pee on eric,Pee on eric" He still sings it now!

I used to believe…

In Hermans Hermits "Silhouettes" I used to believe he was singing "let me in or else I'll WEE down your door" when in fact the real words are "let me in or else I'll BEAT down your door"
