music

I used to believe that Michael Jackson was a robot because i believed that he was made entirely out of plastic.When precilla Presley was going to marry him,i didn't understand how she could marry a robot.

i used to think the song jeremy by pearl jam said "jeremy's toe jam, heeeyyy" instead of "jeremy's spoken, in class today"
:)

i used to think sting's song, the one that went "i'm an alien, an illegal alien, im an englishman in new york" said "i'm a jamaican in new yorK".. funny he didnt sound jamaican to me....

It wasn't until recently that I discovered that contrary to my family's beliefs, the words to that Michael Jackson song were *not* "Annie Annie wonky, Annie wonky, Annie wonky, Annie" but, "Annie are you ok...etc".

To the BeeGee's Night Fever - for years I thought the lyrics were "In ninety-ninety-nine, we'll know how to do it..." instead of "Night Fever, Night Feee-verr..."
I just assumed they were singing about the millenium party

When I was young, I used to believe that singers actually wrote and really meant what they were singing about. That they were singing about their life experiences.

I thought that the 80's song "Alive'n Kicking" was saying in the chorus line "I love a kickin'"

"We built this city" by Starship. All younger members in our family were upset to find out that the lyrics actually went 'we built this city on rock and roll' and not 'we built this city on sausage rolls' as we had thought.

I was convinced in the song "you are not alone" that michael jackson was actually telling lisa-marie presley that 'your burgers are the best' I have recently been corrected and told that it is 'your burdens I will bear' hmmm think he was better off with the burgers

I used to believe that Sam Cooke was not a real person, because there was an ad on television (frequently) that advertised the greatest hits of 'the legendary Sam Cooke.' I knew that legends were myths or fairytales.

I use to think in the Bee Gees song they sang "Living in a world of food" instead of fools.

The song 'there's a bad moon out to night.' i thought they were saying 'there's a bathroom on the right.'

My most favorite song by Elton John, "Someone Saved My Life Tonight", was one of many songs I sang wrongly.
In one verse, I sang "And stricken by a harlot's social scene, just a pawn I paid five dollar and eighty quid", when it was "I'm strangled by your haunted social scene, just a pawn out-played by a dominating queen."
...Luckily I now have a book of lyrics to help correct me.

My parents listened to Kenny Rodgers when I was younger. Up until very recently both me and my sister (who are 26 and 21 respectively). Thought that the lines in Lucille said 'four hundred children' instead of 'four hungry children'. We just thought it was a case of country music style exagggeration.

I used to think the sound at the beginning of Wings' 'Silly Love Songs' was made by Paul McCartney swinging a squeaky door back and forth and dropping heavy chains on the floor.

when i was little there was a country singer that was popular named anne murray. i thought she was my aunt murray (strange name for an aunt) i asked my mom one day why aunt murray never comes to visit us.
