Up until about a month ago when we corrected her, my oldest sister (who is now 22) was convinced that the words to Jimmy Barnes song "Cheap wine and a 3 day growth" was actually "cheap wine and a 3 legged goat". She could never undenstand why anyone would want to sing about 3 legged goats!

Until I was about 7 or 8, I thought the song "Raspberry Beret" was saying "raspberry parade". My brother, who was about 13 or 14, thought the same. So it came on the radio in the car one day, and it came to that line. So we sang, "...she wore a raspberry parade!" and my mom busted out laughing. She told us it was "beret" and asked, "How could you wear a parade?!?" We still laugh about that!

when I was really little, I used to think celebrities were immortal and never died if enough people liked them. That delusison was erased after aaliyah died, but still to this day, I think the Dixie Chicks are immortals.

My dad had a really good voice, and to me he sounded like an opera singer. Sometimes he also sang music from the 70s. So whenever I heard an opera singer, or whenever I heard like the Carpenters singing, I was totally convinced that it was my dad singing on the radio or the recordor tape or whatever. It was years before I figured out that my dad did not sing on the radio or on a record or tape.

When I was little, I used to think that a line in Wilson Phillips' "Reckless" went "I want to be a horse's breakfast" as opposed to "impulsive, reckless." I couldn't figure out why anyone would want to be a horse's breakfast. Suicide perhaps?
Garth Brooks' "Shameless".... I thought it was "Shavin'".
Don't know who sings it, but my friend thought the funk song "Doin' the Butt" was actually "Do it in the Butt." HUGE difference!

Dutch radio DJ Jeroen van Inkel confessed he used to think it was:
"I got my first real sexdream"
instead of
"I got my first real sixstring"
(Bryan Adams - Summer of '69)
I thought is was sixstream, but hey, I'm dutch!
I used to think it was a miracle that a band made good music, seeing how every member of the band seemed to be minding their own business, playing different instruments.

When the Eiffel 65 song "Blue Da Ba De" came out I thought they were saying "I'm Blue, if I was green I would die". Pretty dumb, but not as bad as one guy's argument that they were really saying "I'm Blue, I would beat off a guy". Bit of a perv.

Ok, I feel really stupid now, because, until I read this site, I couldn't figure out what the real words for "Blinded By the Light" were!!! It sounded like "revved up like a duche, another rumor in the night" but I really didn't see how that could POSSIBLY make sense in that song! Oy, I feel like an idiot!

I used to think it was 'Everywhere you go, always take a weapon with you' instead of 'always take the weather with you' in that song by Crowded House

When I was little I would go to symphonies with my parents. When the orchestra would tune their instruments I thought it was a song that you HAD to play before every show. Turns out it's not a song and it's a good thing to tune.
