I used to believe…

As a child in the sixties I thought the song "A Groovy Kind of Love" was "A Croupy Kind of Love" because I'd had a croupy cough.

When I was little my mom got this weird statue thing of madonna holding a baby and it was gray and covered in black spots, so for the longest time I thought madonna ate children and it freaked me out every time I passed it

I used to think the song Dude Looks Like A Lady by Aerosmith said "Do the f***kin' lady" intead of "Dude looks like a lady"

I used to believe that the song that goes "put my chevy to the levy but the levy was dry." went "Put machete (big sword thing) through the lady but the lady won't die" My friend started laughing at me when I started singing it one day...

This one belongs to my dear old dad. This occurred years ago, when the group "Fine Young Cannibals" was popular (in the 80's). Anyway, he thought their song "Good Thing" was called "Guilty" and he used to sing "Guilty" really loud while we were in the family van! What a goober!

I used to think in the song Hotel California, it was 'We are programmed to deceive', as well as 'She got the Mercedes Benz instead of "bends" (which is the correct term).

I used to believe…

When my sister and I were younger we believed the Paul Young song "Everytime you go away" was saying "Everytime you go away, you take a piece of *meat* with you." When our mom found out what we were singing and tried to correct us, we argued with her that ours was right because it made more sense...how can you take a piece of someone with you? The idea was disgusting to us and even if she were taking a piece of him with her, it would technically still be a piece of meat. Our mom didn't think that was very funny and would get mad at us every time we sang the song the wrong way.

I used to think that in the Gin blossoms song that went " Found out about you" they were saying ' oksona bayool"
like the figure skater

I used to believe…

When I was young, I always thought the Bangles song 'walk like an Eygptian' was 'walk like a midget' my aunt actually explained it when I was doing the dance and singing it, I still get teased about that.

I used to think that the lyrics "lets go round again" by Louise from Eternal were actually "leets go round the bend"

I used to believe…

I used to think that the song Signed, Sealed, Delivered, I'm yours was Sky's still the limit oh yeah! but, my sister corrected me.

I used to believe…

when I was younger i thought in "Blinded by the light"
said
"wrapped up like a dutchman of the rotor in the night",
instead of "revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night"

I used to believe…

My mum used to think 'I Believe In Miracles (Hot Chocolate) was: 'I believe in MERKELS' up until The Full Monty soundtrack a few years ago...

I used to believe…

In the song "American Pie" I'm sure you know it, there is a part in the song where they sing "they were dancing in the gym" and my mother used to think they were saying "chin-to-chin" instead of "in the gym." And this was recently!!!

I used to believe…

When I was younger, my parents used to listen to the german group Kraftwerk. The song "Autobahn" went "Fahren, fahren, fahren an der Autobahn." I was told not to use swearwords, and was really shocked when they listened to this song! I thougt they were singing "Faen, faen, faen on the Autobahn."

-Faen is a norwegian word you can translate to something like "damn", "fuck it", or "hell"...
