music

I used to believe…

When I was little I used to think to become an actor or singer they would drive past your house and see you fake singing and ask if you wanted to be a singer or actor!

I used to believe…

you know the song "drift away" the old version, well when i was little we always listened to the oldies and when it said "give me the beat boys to free my soul" i always thought they said "give me the beach boys" I always thought the guy who sang that song really really liked the beach boys! ha ha, just until about a month ago i realized what they really said.

I used to believe…

A friend of mine told me the children in "Another Brick in the Wall" by Pink Floyd were making fun and singing "all in all you're just a-nother prick in the hole"... I'm still not convinced this is wrong!

I used to believe that there were really small people inside records singing the songs and playing the music. My mom however knew better and my butt found out too when she come home one day and many of her LP's were scattered and broken around the livingroom.`

I used to believe…

When I was young(er), the song "I was
made to love her" by Stevie Wonder
came out. I'm 47 years old now, and
still can't figure out the FIRST LINE!"I was born in ______, something,
something ... and, I THOUGHT the second
line was, "had a carpet sweeper, we were
always hand in hand." Now, I at least
know that "carpet sweeper" is "childhood
sweetheart" after a friend heard me
attempting to sing with the radio and
told me what a idiot I was - "You were
hand in hand with a carpet sweeper?' she roared. Well, "hey, hey, hey." I
at least knew THAT part. We still don't know the first line, though - it's just one of life's mysteries. Arden Las Vegas

I used to believe…

My parents were big fans of the show "Cheers." Whenever I heard the theme song, I thought that "You want go where everyone knows your name" was actually "You want to go where everyone knows Yulnay" and that Yulnay was some really cool person.

I used to believe…

Until recently, i used to beliveve that the chorus in "Freewill" by Rush went - "You can choose a ready guide in some celestial voice. If you choose not to decide you still have made a choice. You can choose from Phantom Fears and Kindness that can kill. I will choose a bad ass career, I will choose freewill"
I know know that " Bad Ass Career" should be " Path that's clear"

I'm from Germany, and, listening to
Enya's latin "cursum perficio", I
always heard (and if I want to still
hear) "Katz und Maus" for "cur-su-m".
Translated, the song then goes:

cat and mouse - perficio
cat and mouse - perficio

I used to thinkg this was so incredibly
stupid.

I used to believe…

In the song "I'm every woman" I wasn't sure what the words were, so I made up my own version called "Climb every mountain" and it makes sense with the next lyric "it's all in me"

I thought the words to "When I come around" by Green Day was "When I caught a red hound"--- not horrible, it fits perfectly, just doesn't make much sense with the rest of the lyrics

I used to believe…

Blinded by the Light. Sigh.
It actually goes: "Blinded by the light, revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night".
I thought it said: "Blinded by the light, I woke up with a goose, another mother in the night!"
I am officially an idiot. I only found out a few weeks ago about this. I am 13.
P.S. Is anyone sick of my misheard lyrics yet? Jeez!

I used to imagine that in the song "Just a Gigilo" by Van Halen when he said "I ain't got no body" it was just a little head dancing around, kinda like a Mr. Potato Head toy. I thought he really didn't have a body.

I used to mthink that "I'll never let you go" by Third Eye Blind, was "Another Latchiko, Another Latchiko." My friend thought it was "I'd rather wear JNCO." we still laugh at that song

I used to believe…

in the song hakuna matata where timon and pumba sing "it's a problem free
philosophy", I thought they said "it' a
problem Tree Phil and Sophie". I walked
around singing this over and over again
when I was five.

I used to believe…

There was a song in the 90's. I don't remember the band but in the chorus, it said "I'm standing by you". I was pretty young then and I loved to watch ice-skating. I used to think the singer said, "Oksana Baiul". I always wondered why he was singing about a skater.

I used to believe…

The song *Blinded by the Light* was always a frustration for me, I always heard "Blinded by the light, wrapped up like a deuce and a loner in the night" until just now, this very instant I have decided to check out the real lyrics and it actually says, "And she was blinded by the light, cut loose like a deuce, another runner in the night"...well I wasn't that far off,I got deuce right!
