I used to believe…

Me and a couple of mates in a science class managed to convince a friend that the song that goes 'your once, twice, three times a lady' went 'Your once, twice, thrice four times a lady' we got the whole class behind the joke. before the end of school she also believed that 'four is the magic number'

I used to believe…

when i was little i heard the charlie daniel's song "devil went down to georgia". then i heard it on the radio and i believed the song had been changed because on the cd version he says " i told you once you son of a bitch" and on the radio "he says you son of a gun". this was before i knew about censoring things...

I used to believe…

When i was about 2 or 3 years old, i used to sing "twinkle twinkle" all the time. In the part "how i wonder what you are", i always thought it was "how i wonder what your doin'"

I used to believe that when the little animatronic people from Shrek sung "Up a pine," instead of "get along fine,"
Whoops.

I used to believe…

In Good Charlotte's The Anthem I thought that they were saying "This is the end, so blow all your heads up!" instead of "This is the Anthem, throw all your hands up!"

I have an Uncle who when he sings the Billy Joels song "allways a women to me" he will sing the line "oh she takes care of her son"When it's "oh she takes care of herself" lol

I used to believe…

When I was little i used to the song Achey Breaky Heart would go "My achey breaky heart makes me wanna fart."

I later found out I was wrong when i said it in kindergarten.

I used to believe…

When I was a kid, I was convinced that Yoko Ono was John Lennon in drag. My dad told me it was his wife and I defended my point saying that she was too ugly to be a real girl.

I used to believe…

Until recently when my friend informed me that the words to 'sweet chariot' were what they were, i thought they went like this 'swing low, sweet chariot, mummas gunna carry me home' what an idiot!

I used to think that the "All In the Family" theme song sang, "G R OL L SAL AN GRATE" and never understood this. For years, this was what I thought, until my 13 year old daughter corrected me with "Gee our old La Salle ran great," Whoops.

I used to believe…

When I was a kid, the song "I fought the Law" (I'm not sure who sang it) but I went years beliving it was "I fought the log, and the log one." I thought it was about a lumberjack.

I used to believe…

Songs (or music videos) that scared me when I was little:

1) The video for "Opportunities," by the Pet Shop Boys. (I think there are two videos for this song) It was the one where the singer with the glasses and Amish hat is stuck in the floor in front of a limousine. I kept my parents up all night once because I thought that singer was going to come get me.

2) "Justify my Love," by Madonna. I thought the whispering lady was some scary person that was going to come get me and the whispers were warnings that she was coming. I later found out when I grew up that it was pornographic.

3) "Dream Weaver," by Gary Wright. Simply the beginning freaked me out. The scary "eeeeeeee" opening notes and the weird bird like sounds. I still don't listen to that song to this day.

4) "I'm Not In Love," by 10cc. That was just WAY too psychological for me to hear at age 10. I don't want to hear some guy's creepy mother whispering "Be quiet, big boys don't cry" in the past during the musical interlude. Don't listen to that one either.

On a positive note, I started getting moved by pretty love songs at age 4. Would cry and say "That's SOOOO pretty!"

I used to believe…

When I was little, and heard the nurseryrhyme, "How much is That Doggy in the Window," I was especially taken by the verse, "with his ears cut short and tail cut long:" I assumed that a dog's ears were the equivalent of a human's hair, so one day I went to the hairdresser's and asked, "Can you cut my hair long?" My mum said it was possible befrore we went, but when the hell did she correct me for saying anything stupid like that? Not very much.

I used to believe…

My sister and I thought the chorus of the song 'Everybody Dance Now!' by C&C Music Factory was 'Everybody, PANTS DOWN!'

It was actually very funny because when we were in the car we'd scream this at the top of our lungs.

I used to believe…

When we first heard the song 'Super Sex World', my sister and I thought it was 'Super Saiyan Squirrels'. From then on I thought that all romance songs were about Martial Arts squirrels.

I used to believe…

When Eminem first came out my mom listened to his song Ï think ym dads gone crazy" or w/e the name is.. And she thought it said "I love my hair", dont know how she got that, but she did.. And whenever she sings it we laugh at her and she's like "What?"
