I used to believe…

my mum used to think the song she moves in her own way was furbie kiss she moves in her own way!

I used to believe…

In the Shwayze song "Corona and Lime" there's a line that goes "I ain't met her but I'll get her when I do". I always thought that it said "I ain't mad about her ghetto attitude".

That makes more sense to me.

My earliest memories begin in the early 1960s, when Peter, Paul and Mary were singing "Puff, the Magic Dragon" on the radio. I understood most of the words and the general idea. Besides, Captain Kangaroo helped a lot with his Magic Drawing Board.

But there was a verse that mentioned "sealing wax". I didn't know what sealing wax was. I sincerely (pardon the pun) thought they were singing about "CEILING wax"! I knew people waxed their floors, but I didn't know anyone who waxed their ceiling!

I used to believe…

In the song, "Puff the Magic Dragon," I always thought that Jackie Paper brought Puff ceiling wax.

I used to believe…

When I was a kid, my teen-aged sister and her girlfriend would sing the chorus of "Woman, Woman" by Gary Puckett & the Union Gap as "woman, have you got Gene on your mind?" (Her friend was going out with this one guy but also liked a guy named Gene.) It was at least 20 years later that I finally realized the line was "woman, have you got cheating on your mind?" And even though it's been 20 years since that realization, I still sing it with "Gene" in the verse.

I used to believe…

correct lyrics: "if we can count on you, scooby doo, i know we'll catch that villain."

what i heard: "if we can't count on you, scooby doo, i know a cat that's willing."

d'oh!

I used to believe…

When I was about 5 or 6, I discovered that Michael Jackson had outbid Paul McCartney for The Beatles catalog and was making money on songs that weren't his and so on... so I decided to start saving money to buy the catalog back for Sir Paul! I seriously thought that my pennies and dimes would be enough! But of course no one could know because Michael Jackson would find out, come into my room and steal the money... and my soul.

HA My sister usta sing the song "It's A Heartache" like this:
IT'S A HARD EGG, NUTTIN BUT A HARD EEEEGGGG HITS YOU WITH A TOOTHAAACCHHEE HITS YOU WITH A CLOWWWWNNNNN rofl!

I used to believe…

In the Avril Lavigne song "I Can Do Better" she sings:
"I will drink as much lemoncello as I can..."
But for a while I did not know that lemoncello is a kind of liquor, did not even know that it is a word.
So I heard it as:
"I will drink as much lemon jello as I can..."
I spent hours wondering how a person could drink jello.

So when I first heard the song "I Will Follow You Into the Dark" by Death Cab for Cutie, there was a line where I wasn't so sure what he was saying. I heard:
"If heaven and hell decide that they both are satisfied
Illuminate the nose on their Vatican seasides"
Eventually I looked this up on a lyrics website. Turns out the actual lyrics are:
"If heaven and hell decide that they both are satisfied
Illuminate the no's on their vacancy signs"
whoops.

I used to believe…

The song sk8er boi by Avril Lavigne used to be one of my favorites. Except there was this one line where I heard:
"Sorry girl but you missed out
What the f*** that boy's mine now"
And actually, it goes:
"Sorry girl but you missed out
Well, tough luck that boy's mine now"
oops.

I used to believe…

In the Green Day song "Boulevard of Broken Dreams" there's a line that goes:
"My shadow's the only one who walks beside me"
I thought it was:
"No child's the only one who walks beside me"
I could not quite figure this one out. I thought it might mean that the only one who walked beside him was an adult...or maybe not...i was very confused until i found out the correct lyrics.

I used to believe…

In Green Day's "Boulevard of Broken Dreams", there's a line that goes:
Sometimes, I wish someone out there would find me
I heard:
Sometimes, I wish some other girl would find me
I thought he didn't like his girlfriend.

I used to believe…

Until 30 seconds ago, I believed that in the Avril Lavigne song "Things I'll Never Say", she was singing:
"If I could see what I wanna see
I wanna see you go down on me..." I found out that the words are actually:
"If I could see what I wanna see
I wanna see you go down on ONE KNEE..." Silly me.
