I used to think that in the song Halo by Texas, she sang "She has a halo, we really do a door, she has a halo, hairy sunshine"

Instead of "She has a halo, we really do adore her, she has a halo, can we touch her"

In 1999 there was a huge hit by an band called The Wamdue Project: King of My Castle, I has just turned 29 and was having a hard time realising that I was nearly thirty and was really trying to get into all the commercial pop on the radio. We were at a house party and King of my castle came on, to my delight, (as it was my favourite song at the time)I was boogeying on the dancefloor with a couple of teenagers,singing at the top of my voice (I was hip, I was cool!) Must be the reason why i am king of my castle, must be the reason why I am still on my trestle, when this snotty little teenager came up to me and said, "DUH, must be the reason why i am freeing my TRAPPED SOUL" i was quite embarrassed and went and sat quietly in the corner!!

I used to believe…

there is this song that goes

'relight my fire......burning desire'

i tot it went

'we like papaya'

sounds duh dont it?

I used to think Jimi Hendrix' "Hey Joe" went "I'm going down to shoot my old lady, you know I'd probably mess around with another man"......instead of "I'm going down to shoot my old lady, you know I caught her messing around with another man".

I used to think that song that goes "everytime you go away, you take a piece of me with you" went "everytime you go away, you take a piece of MEAT with you". To me it made much more sense than taking a piece of someone else.

I have been listening to an 80's alternative Australian band called "Mr. Floppy". They did a rather silly version of Kate Bush's 'Wuthering Heights' which was played in Australia a lot on JJJ (radio station). Anyway, I started playing it at home and there's this rather rude song called "Head Job". My wife was concerned, but our kids aren't affected by it. The boys (4 and 7 yo) and I all run round the room singing at the top of our lungs "Hedgehog". It's classic!

I used to believe…

My dad told me when I was a kid that Ringo Starr (Beatles Drummer) had a big nose because he used to drum with his drumsticks sticking out of his nose. I told all my friends in the street this and we believed it! My I was (still am) gullible. And my dad, well... He forgets he ever told me such a thing. I will never let him forget it!

I used to think that Metallica's "exit night, enter light" was "Amstel Light, Amstel Light, walk in never never land" I thought it was a song about getting tanked and having good times!

I used to believe…

Not my belief, but when my daughter was around 3 we had a tape we played in the car and it had the song "Raise a Little Hell" by Trooper on it. We heard my daughter's little voice in the back seat singing "Raise your little hands" at the chorus part, and she'd wave her arms in the air!

I used to believe…

when i was a kid i didn't understand the concept of "recordings", so when i used to play my albums i thought they were all singing it live in a studio somewhere and it was being somehow beamed to my bedroom. Arthur Lowe (British actor) narrated my Mr Men tapes, i was about 5 when he died, and i cried because i thought i couldn't listen to them anymore, thats when my mum explained about recordings!!!

I used to believe…

Reading through the misheard lyrics page, I just found out the correct lyrics for something I've misheard for years!

Every time I heard the Pearl Jam song "Glorified Version of a Pellet Gun," I swear I heard "Hot, Fly Virgins and a Belly Gun."

It drove me nuts when that song came on because I could not understand what the hell Eddie was talking about! I was sure it was Pelicans or Femme-bots

More Lyrics:

I couldn't figure out why the Song "Be Like That" by 3 Doors Down was being played on radio stations with this Chorus:

"F-cking me like that..."

I used to (and sometimes still do) hear the line from the Green Day song "Time of your Life" as:

"Tounge grabs you by the waist..." (Time grabs you by the wrist...")

and

"..Hang it on the shelf in good old-fingered time" (Still haven't figured out what he's saying here).

I used to believe…

AC/DC's Dirty Deed:

I still swear the line "done dirt cheep" was said "Dunder Chief." I thought the Dunder Chief was the one doing dirty deeds.

I used to believe…

"You know I'd like to keep my cheese androgynous."

The song was "No Rain", by Blind Melon, and the actual line is "I'd like to keep my cheeks dry today". Everyone in my circle heard the line differently. Who didn't?

I used to believe…

When I was little and listened to "Puff the Magic Dragon," I thought when they said, "brought him strings and sealing wax and other fancy stuff," that they were saying "ceiling wax." I thought it was like floor wax but for the ceiling. I used to wonder what the point of waxing the ceiling was!
