I used to believe…

When I was little, I thought that the song "This Old Man" ended with, "Knick-knack, patty-whack, keep it on the phone" (instead of "give a dog a bone"). My little brother (two years younger) picked it up from me, and once I found out the truth, it took me the longest time to convince him of the real words. :)

Not too long ago when I heard the word , prima donna, i thought the were saying, pre-Madonna. I thought they were saying that Madonna was such a bossy brat diva that the named people that act like that.

I used to believe…

Ya know the song "Stop in the Name of Love", well when I was little I thought the part where they say "Think it o over.. think it o over!"
I thought it was "Stop in the name of love before you break my heart, like a boldozer.. like a boldozer!

When I was little i had tookin my moms cd and i was listening to track number 4....which was "lets talk about sex" anyways, i put it in my little portable cd player thing...and we went to a restraunt and i was singing it XDDD it had all these "Grown-up" words in it...my mom was so embarrished....my grandma was like shocked XDDD

I used to believe…

When Madonna first came out, she had a song called "La Isla Bonita". A section of the lyrics says, "... A young girl with eyes like the desert....". Well, at first, I thought she was saying "with eyes like potatoes" (no...THAT couldn't have been right! How rude was that for Madonna to compare a girl's eyes to potatoes?!) So I listened and listened. Then I thought she was saying "with eyes like two pesos" (THAT made a bit more sense but what do pesos really look like? And do they look good as eyes??) THEN I finally listened and figured out what the proper lyrics were!! Boy, was I a LOSER!! hee hee!

I misheard 'she just smiled and gave me a Vegemite sandwich' in 'Down Under' by Men at Work. Not having heard of Vegemite then I thought it was a 'bitumen sandwich'. I still annoy my husband by deliberately singing this version whenever it comes on the radio.

I used to believe…

In The Bee Gees' 'Too Much Heaven' where Barry says 'Ooh you and me girl', I thought for years that he said 'Ooh you nigger' and was quite upset that he had said this and had been allowed to get away with it.

I used to believe…

at the time when TLC's "waterfalls" was popular, my brother was 5 years old. the line that goes "don't go chasing waterfalls", he thought it was "Go, GO, Power Rangers!

I used to believe…

When I was about 4, my dad would play travis tritt songs all the time. There is a song (T-R-O-U-B-L-E) I thought he was saying "tea all over you baby)

I used to dance around the living room like a maniac to ABBA, using a neon green jumprope for a microphone and singing "dancin' on a mo-nack-a-rock" instead of "does your mother know that you're out." I always wondered what a mo-nack-a-rock was. I figured it was a planet.

I thought in the opening of gone in 60 seconds the movie the song was bring sally up bring sally down when it was really "Green sally up Green sally down" Ive been singing it wrong until i found it on a lyrics page.

I used to believe…

my sister whos 16,had some of her friends stay overnight,about a month ago,like a sleepover. well she has a friend who is great in school,but lacks common sence (you know the type,im sure)well anyway,it was the morning and they were all talking about or watching somthing on t.v. about michal jackson when my sisters friend says out loud "did you guys know michal jackson used to be black??" (keep in mind shes 16 and this happened about a month ago..)

i used to think that meatloaf paradise by the dashboard light used to say " aint no doubt about it he was looking gay cos he was barely 17 and he was wearing a dress", when it actually says "aint no doubt about it we were doubtly blessed cos we were only 17 and we were barely dressed.

I used to believe…

part of John Mellencamp's song "jack and diane" said, "suckin on a chili dog; the outisde tastes freezed." but i thought he said, "run along, chili dog; your butt is green."

I used to think in Nirvana's song "Smells Like Teen Spirit" The line "A mosquito, my libido!" was "I'm afraid of, Albino!" I sung it out loud like that numerous times.

I used to believe that the lyrics to
"jenny ive got your number, i've got to make you mine, Jenny dont change your number 867-5309" said
"daddy ive got your number, im gonna take you on, daddy dont change your number ....867-5309"
