I used to believe that in the song "Blue" by Eiffel 65, he said "I'm Blue, I believe I will die."

When I was about 5 years old, my aunt would always sing the song "You are my sunshine, my only sunshine..." (I don't know the title) to me because she knew I hated it. At the age of 5 I must have been pretty messed up, because I thought the song was a guy who got caught cheating on his wife. I thought he was singing the song to his mistress, telling her she was his sunshine, when his wife found them together. He then sang to his wife, "You never know dear, how much I love you, so please don't take my sunshine away." Sick mind I had.

There's this song called follow me, and there's a sentence in there that goes: "... like a fish in the sea"
I always thought that it was "... I can pis in the sea" =)

There's a Kate Bush song on 'The Dreaming' that I thought had the most beautifully honest lyric I had ever heard: 'How come I really bore you?' Turns out it's, 'Not until I'm ready for you.'

Back in the late 70s when I was about 6 or 7 I used to sleep over my aunt's house from time to time. My cousins were teens at that point. They listened to a lot of disco and everytime I heard a song with the word "boogie" in it, I thought that they were referring to boogers.

"Get Up And Boogie" to me meant stop dancing and clean all the boogers out of your nose. LOL!!!

For the longest time (through college even) I thought the last lyrics of the Golden Girls was "And the cardiacs would say, 'Thank you for being a friend'".
Made sence to me, as it was a show about older women. My brother has since informed me of it being "card attached". Makes more sense now.

There's a famous hoe-down song with the words "Where did you come from, Where did you go? Where did you come from, Cotton-Eyed Joe..." which I'd heard dozens of times throughout my childhood. Until I was 17 years old, I thought the words were "Where did you come from, 'Gotta Find Joe!"

I still like my version better...who's ever heard of a guy with "cotton eyes" anyway? :)

I always used to listen to Journey when i was a kid and i had their greatest hits tape. and you kno how songs like fade out when your listenin to the tapes.. well i was like 6 and i was like "mom! mom! i know how they do that! the keep playin quieter and quieter until you cant hear them anymore!" and she's just like "thats right honey", i didnt realize what actually happened until i was about 14

When i was eight we drove down to disney world and Aerosmith's "dude looks like a lady" came on the radio. I started singing along like i always do and when "dude looks like a lady" part came on I sang "Do the legged-lady", my parents thought it was the funniest thing in the world. and i dont know who this song is by or what its called... but it goes "cant hurt me now, cant hurt me now, cant hurt me nooooow" and i sang "hand her her towler, hand her her towel, hand her her tooooowell!" i was such a loser as a kid

I used to believe…

When I was little I used to do this crazy dance and sing along to Tina Turner...but instead of "When the B****h gets back, I used to sing "when the fish gets back.." It didn't make sense even then, but I swore I was right.

I used to believe…

When I was 11 and 12, I used to love The Monkees (corny 60s band) so much that I prayed I could travel back in time just so I could meet them. Obviously, my prayers weren't answered because I'm still here, about a decade later....

Also, my parents don't really like the Beatles and I just couldn't understand why when I was a kid (about 6 or 7). So to put to rest my confusion, I decided that my parents had at one time been good friends with John, Paul, George, and Ringo and had had a huge argument which led to them never speaking to one another again.

Yeah, I was an imaginative kid.

I used to think that Ace of Base sang, "I saw the SUN and it opened up my eyes..." instead of "I saw the sign."

I used to believe…

My niece, Alisse, heard the song "Felis Navidad" one day on the radio and was amazed. She thought the song said, "Alisse, mom, and dad". So now when we ask her to sing a Christmas song she'll sing that, HER way. Don't try to tell her she's wrong, she KNOWS it's about her family.

I used to believe…

In the song "Greased Lightning" from the musical "Grease", there is a line "You know that ain't no shit, we'll be getting lots of tit". I was eight and had just got the record and played this line for my dad, who corrected me, saying it was "You know that when you shift, you'll be getting lots of tift". When I asked him what a 'tift' was, he said that it meant 'a rough time'. So for years I would regularly use 'tift' in sentences, such as "Wow, you'll really be in a big tift if the teacher sees you!" Only when I was in my teens did I realize that my dad simply didn't want me repeating the words 'shit' and 'tit' in public.

I used to believe…

For about 20 years I thought the first lines of Elvis Presley's 'Suspicious Minds' were "I'm courting a trout, I can't walk out". It may be a weird concept and not make sense but at least it rhymes better than the real lyrics!
