music

I used to believe…

Tina Turner sang 'let me be be the one you come a-running to'in let's stay together (was it Al Green who did the original?)
I thought she was saying 'Let me be your comaronitoo' - some kind of native american protector or something, I don't know.

I used to believe…

when i was in first grade we would sing songs at the beginning of the day and one was "my bonnie lies over the ocean" and i thought bonnie was bunny and i thought someone loved their bunny very much

I used to think that Michael Jackson and Janet Jackson weren't actaully related (well, they had completely different skin colours!)

I also used to think that there were 2 people called Michael Jackson, one who was black and about 13, and one who was white and about 30.

I used to believe…

Ya know the song Im Blue by Eiffel 65? well before i seen the real name of the song.. i always thought they "da ba dee daba di" part was "im blue...i was beat i will die.." and i still think it sounds like it.. listen closely.. it does

I used to think that Stacie Orrico's "more to life" went "Theres got to be more to life than just about every temper every high" :-S Wtf does that mean???

i remember "millennium" by robbie williams coming on the radio wen i was with my friends and me singing loudly "with any earth". I don't know where I thought the word "millennium" came in!

I used to believe…

My uncle had an song book with "Home on the Range" in it. I'd never come across the word "seldom" before, so when it came to the line "where seldom is heard a discouraging word" I thought this meant that there was this rural idyll "where the deer and the antelope play" but someone kept coming along and spoiling it by saying "seldom", which was "a discouraging word" (perhaps because no one knew what it meant.

I used to believe…

In the song "Don't Worry Baby" by the Beach Boys, the original lyric is "She told me baby when you race today. . ." Up until just recently, my mum thought it was "She told me baby when you raise the dead. . ."

I used to think that Michael Jackson lived innthe house at the top of my road, because the house was bigger than ours and my perception of the world didnt extend beyond my area.

I would sing out the lyrics to Creedence Clearwater Revival song, Lodi "stuck in Lodi again" as "only the old die young"...until a college friend (after she recovered from laughing) told me the real lyrics. I still have trouble referring to the song correctly!

I used to believe…

Remember the song "Safety Dance"? I thought they were saying "we can dance, everybody pull off your pants" instead of "everybody look at your hands". I still like to sing this version! :P

I used to think that the song "White Room" by Creem went "In a white room with black curtains with the devil"

I was listening to "Motivation Proclamation" and I SWEAR in the beginning the lyrics are "Is Benji lazy and he's crazy" seriously...

I used to believe…

my friend belived for so long- and we fell out about it- that the lyrics to destinys child 'bug-a-boo' were
"break my kness so i can't move"
when it is in fact
"break my lease so i can move"
i will never let her forget that!!

I used to believe…

When reading this website, I was surprised to learn that David Bowie sings "this mellow-thighed chick" in Suffragette City. I always thought it was, "the smell of fat chicks." I figured that he was acting like he had transcendant sexual senses or something.

I always thought the Motels were singing, "Only the lonely, only the lonely get laid" instead of "can play." It didn't make sense to me at all, because how can they be lonely if they're getting laid so much?
