I used to believe…

Bonnie Tylers "Total Eclipse of the Heart"

Bonnies version - I don't know what to do and I'm always in the dark, We're living in a powder keg and giving off sparks

My version - I don't know what to do and I'm always in the dark, We're living in a shed and eating Kelloggs Start

1998 - I think it was around the time "start" was first out, and I became a tad confused...

I used to believe that the song "Janie's Got A Gun" by Aerosmith went like this "Janie's got a gun, hot spring pepper tongue" ("Janie's got a gun, her world's come undown")

i have no idea why, but i used to believe David Hasselhoff was actually named Michael Jackson. Every time someone mentioned the real Micheal Jackson, i mentioned the funny "fact" that there was another star with exactly the same name.
some people got really insecure because i was so convinced about it.

I used to believe…

When I was a little girl, I loved watching the movie Grease. My favorite song was one Rizzo would sing..."Look at me, I'm Sandra Dee....Lousy with virginity" Well I always thought it was "Look at me I'm Sandra Dee...I'm from West Virginia, see" My family still likes to tease me about that!

I used to believe…

When I was younger (in the early 90's) I listened a lot to Guns n' Roses. In their song Paradise City I was sure that the chorus went "Take me down to the Paradise City, where the beer is free and the girls are pretty."
To my grave disappointment it was the, in my opinon, lamer "where the grass is green and the girls are pretty". My version just seems to be more Rock n' Roll.

I used to believe…

When I was in Jr. High (in the late 80's) there was this song by Debbie Deb called "Lookout Weekend". I was bustin' a move and dancing in the living room one day then my Mom pulled the plug on the radio 'cause she was so annoyed. Just as she did that I belted out "Look out we can cuss-here I come!! Because we can twirl-made for fun!"
Well, she just about died laughing and said the real lyrics were "Lookout weekend cause, here I come
Because weekends were, made for fun!" She always had a way of bursting my bubble.

I used to believe…

For years my sister (who is now 22) thought the words to the Jimmy Barnes song "Cheap wine and a 3 day growth" were actually "She's fine with her 3 legged goat". She only realised a few months ago.

I used to believe…

When Madonna sang "let the choir sing" in "Like a Prayer", I thought she was singing "love by proxy"

I used to believe…

my mom heard Tori Amos,s "professional widow" and where Tori says "honey bring it close to my...." my mom thought she was saying "we havin' toast tonight"!!! ,in another line Tori says "its gotta be big" my mom thought it was "scabie git"!!!!!!!!!!!!

I used to believe…

whenever my gran came to visit us, my mum would make us all sing that song "She'll be comin round the mountain when she comes..." or something along those lines (the song itself is a little vague.....:) ) and I used to think that this song was written about my granny and that she must be really famous. well, it was quite hilly where she came from....

I was listening to my daughter sing along with a song that included the line "and the memories go on and on" but she was singing "and your mammaries go on and on" which was really a lot funnier...

i was viciously mocked throughout my childhood by my brother and sisters when they found out that i was convinced that 'Unchained Melody' contained the lyrics "I fumble for your torch" instead of "i hunger for your touch". I perhaps shouldnt have argued but IT MADE SENSE.

I used to think the Neil Diamond song "Forever in Blue Jeans" was actually him singing about The Reverend Blue Jeans and I assumed it was about a man of the cloth being cool and appealing to the younger generation. Only realised the real song title and lyrics a few years ago. My dad and I prefer my version and always change the song as we sing along.

I used to believe…

my dad played the guitar and although some of the songs were his own, i thought any song he played and sang that i hadn't heard before was his. sometimes it wasn't until years later when i'd hear a song on the radio and recognize it that i'd realize my dad hadn't made up that one, too.

I used to think that bout a couple years ago the song by matchbox 20 " its 3am I must be lonely" said "its 3 am I must be horny" lol

I used to believe…

not my belief, but my college roomate thought "Glorified Version of a Pellet Gun" was "all ten versions of a pelican"-always found that amusing.
