I used to believe…

When i was younger i would listen to this song on the radio...the words were "I want my Night life baby" but i heard " I want my night-light baby" haha go figure....

I believed that the words to 'White Flag' by Dido were "I will go down with this shit, I won't poke my eyes out and surrender. There will be no1 left but my duck" When the actual words were: "I will go down with this ship, I won't poke my hands up and surrender, there will be no white flag above my door". How embarrassing!

I thought the words were:
"Super Sex squirrel, Super Sex squirrel going up and down"
Well, the real words were:
"Super sex world, Super sex world going up and down."

when i was about 4 or 5 my mother was playing the gloria estefan song "wanna be my lover" and i loved it. so then we were at a play date with all my friends and their mothers and i got up and started singing I WANNA BEAT MY LOVER! instead of wanna be my lover.

A friend of mine believes that the song by Shania Twain goes "cum in my hair, do it again. Man, I feel like a mormon." Gee , just what do those mormons get up to!!!

I used to believe…

When I was in kindergarden I used to believe that whenever we would sing "if you're happy and you know it clap your hands", the teacher was making a specific reference to something. In fear of her asking me what "it" was, I never clapped my hands. Now I know why teachers spent so much extra time with me.

I used to believe…

When I was younger, I thought that in the chorus of "There's a Bad Moon on the Rise", that the man was singing "There's a bathroom on the right". It always seemed rather pretentious that the man automatically assumed that the woman was staying with him and needed to use the restroom.

I used to believe…

When Destiny's Child started to become really popular and "Jumpin, Jumpin" was on the radio a lot, my aunt used to get angry at my cousins and me for singing along because she thought it said, "...the club is full of ballers and they cocks is full grown..." instead of "...the club is full of ballers and they pockets full grown..." It took us laughing hysterically at her and actually looking up the lyrics to prove it to her before she believed us. Everytime we hear it, we still make fun of her by singing her lyrics 'til she's red in the face.

I only ever heard the song "Camptown Races" once. Every other time I heard it, the guy was just mumbling nonsense. It was that cartoon-rooster guy (I don't remember his name). When I heard my friend singing it, I thought he said "Camptown Racists". What confused me even more was that the first line or so is "Camptown Races sing this song, doo-dah, doo-dah...". How can a race sing a song? Do they mean a race like white, black, etc.? Some songs don't make sense to me!

I used to think the song "Sunglasses At Night" (I guess that's the title) was saying, "Don't mess afraid with a guy in shades, oh no." I thought it was telling people not to doodoo (mess) while you are scared when you are in the same bathroom as a guy in sunglasses. It made no sense, I don't know WHY I thought that.

I used to believe…

Tim McGraw did a remake of Elton John's "Tiny Dancer." Until recently, I thought it said, "Baby darlin', she's a Lennon" meaning that she could sing really well. It's really "Lay me down in sheets of linen," but I still sing the Lennon line.

I used to believe…

To a classic song my brother thought the words were as follows: "Home, home on the range. Where the deer and the ENVELOPES play." The oddity of such a situation never seemed to occur to him.

I used to believe…

worringly until quite recently i thought that in Will Smith's song - Boom Shake the Room they were singing "pump it up CHRIS" instead of "Pump it up PRINCE". Actually i've sung that out loud and no-one ever corrected me... so that's why they laughed !!

I believed that Tori Amos sang "My heart is sick of beaning cheese!" It took a lot of Internet-searching to find out that, in fact, she intended "My heart is sick of being in chains". Well, "Crucify" will always be The Cheese Song to me!

I used to believe…

A collegue of mine was singing along to the song "It's the final countdown" at discoteque in Turkey. The DJ faded the music and all we heard from her was:
"There's a fire in downtown..." - Classic

I used to believe…

My younger sister used to have a teddy bear named "Bim-Bim" She thought the song "Taking Care of Business" was "Taking Care of Bim-Bim" My parents played along so well, that I believed (I was 8-10 at the time) that BTO had really written a song about my little sister's teddy bear.
