I used to believe…

When I was like, 11, I really liked that Puddle of Mudd song "Blurry". My mom and I listened to it on the radio, and I must have asked her what it was about because I remember her saying "It's about a man who can't see his own son." A short while later, I saw the video. I went and asked my mom, "If the guy from that song is blind, wouldn't it be unsafe for him to throw the kid up in the air?" She was like, "What?"
It turns out that song is about not having custody of your kid after a divorce.
I took it to mean literally, he COULDN'T SEE his kid.
Whoops.

When i was younger (around 2 maybe) my parents would always sing that "shake your booty song" and thier like heather, heather, where's your booty?

i put my hands up to my chest adn i i rubbed my hands on me. i was so used to hearing my mom call her chest a *boobie* that i heard wrong.

at 13 years old they still joke on me about that, it's soo embarresing!!

I used to believe…

When i was little, i thought that song "shake your booty" was actually "shake your booby". one day i was running around in a shopping centre, yelling out "shake your boobies, shake your boobies".

The the song The Great Escape I got the lyrics very wrong. It goes Paper bags & plastic hearts
All are belongings in shopping carts
It's goodbye,
But we got one more night
Let's get drunk and drive around
& make peace with an empty town
We can make it right

Throw it away
Forget yesterday
We'll make the great escape
We won't hear a word they say
They don't know us anyway
Watch it burn
Let it die
Cause we are finally free tonight

How ever I though it went
Paper bags and plastic hearts
Everybody in shopping carts
Goodbye
But we fight
Lets get drunk and drive around
and make peace with a empty clown
we can make it right
Throw it away foget yesterday
we'll make the great escape
we wont hear a word they say
they dont know us anyway
watch a bird
let it die
we are finally free tonight.

I think i like my lyrics better, at least the part about the bird...

I used to believe…

My friend Karen used to think Britney Spears' song "Baby One More Time" started off "Oh, biben, biben, how was a supposed to know..."

Also she always sang "Turn the beat around, love to feel the cushion" . Never let her live down this one.

I used to believe…

In John Mayer's "Your Body Is A Wonderland" the lyrics are "I love the shape you take when crawling towards the pillowcase"

I heard them as "I love the steps you take when Collins hogs the pillowcase" and I pictured this kid named Collins from my school.

I used to believe…

When "In Da Club" by 50 Cent first came out I was in like 6th grade. And by now we all know, he really doesn't enunciate much. You know how, in the beginning, he goes "Go shawty, it's your birthday" and stuff like that? For like 3 months I sang "Go shawty, it's shiver, k?" Until finally at this dance this one kid came up to me and was like "What are you singing?" I was so embarrassed. And also mad that everyone just let me go around singing that.

I used to think that Bob Marley was a fictional character from the story "A Christmas Carol". This was probably due to the fact that in "Muppet Christmas Carol", Statler and Waldorf (the two old man Muppets who heckled the audience in "The Muppet Show") played Jacob and Robert Marley. I knew at the time I saw this that "Bob" was a nickname for people named "Robert", so when I saw VH1's "100 Greatest Artists of Rock And Roll" and Bob Marley was featured on there, I was confused as to why a character from "A Christmas Carol" would be considered a rock musician (or a musician of any genre, for that matter.)

I can't help but to crack up every time I think of my best co-worker friend running around the resturant singing( Paul Simons song?)" What are you gonna do when your' LIPS' are gone"! I believe the right word is "LOOKS"!

I used to believe…

when i was little, i liked elton john a lot. but up until age 11 i always thought he was singing "hold me close now, tony danza." instead of "hold me closer, tiny dancer."

I used to believe…

My teen-aged daughter would sing the lyrics of Shirley Murdocks "As we lay" song...the part goes ...as we slept the night away...She thought she was saying "as we swept the night away" which makes sense only if you are having an affair with a janitor.

I used to believe…

When i was about 9 my dad showed me a video of micahel jackson and i said that lady sings weird but then my dad told me it was a guy and later i showed one of my friends that video and it was is video beat it and she thought he was cute until she found out the truth about him lol

I believed that there were two types of trees. There were the "Partri" and the "Ginapear" trees.

On the first day of Christmas my true love gave to me a Parti, Ginapear tree......

I used to believe…

These aren't nessicarily mine but...

My mom has this song, 'Mas tecila' or something like that, and after a while my brother started singing it. Only he sang, 'mas tequitos'. I thought the same song was, 'Mashed potatoes'. Opps...

Also my boyfriend's brother was singing a song one day that's called something like, 'Snake bite en-ter my ve-i-ns', but he was singing, 'Snape (like in harry potter) bite into my rad-i-a-tor.'

We all have hearing problems.

I used to believe…

When I was little, around 2 or 3, Nirvana's "Come As You Are" was pretty popular. For parts of the song, he sings "Memory-a". Well, my dad, being the clever guy he is, told me he was actually saying "Amberina" My name is Amber, and I always thought he was singing about me. It wasn't until I was about 12 or 13 when I looked up the lyrics and learned the truth.
I like my version better

I have quite a few stories...

First of all, I really think the singer from The Cure needs to annunciate more, since he's been teaching kids some dirty stuff. It was one day while playing some nice music, when I hear the words,
'Yoo-hoo, soft and only, yoo-hoo, lost and lonely, yoo-hoo, you're dressed like Kevin.'
Of course, the real words are 'just like heaven'. Since the song is supposedly about a girl, I thought the song was about a cross-dresser or something. In other news, the first time I heard the song Friday I'm In Love, I could have SWORN he was singing 'Friday, I'm a bra'.

Next! The song Sexyback by Justin Timberlake - I used to think 'get your sexy on' was 'get your sexy towel'. Sounds like that. And Say It Right by Nelly Furtado...I could have sworn that 'from my hands, I could give you, something, that I made' was actually 'from my PANTS, I could give you, something, that I made...'
And the line after that one (same song, Say It Right), it sounds like 'from my mouth' is 'from my bowel'.

And The Clash. They have dirty minds too. Times a thousand. On the album London Calling, there's a song called Spanish Bombs. The little lyrics booklet says the words are 'oh, oh, oh mah corazon' but when I hear it it, no matter how hard I try, I can't hear anything else but 'oh, oh, oh Madonna thong'.

Give this belief a thumbs-up if you think I have a serious hearing problem.

I used to believe…

Dean Martin's "That's Amore" used to really confuse the heck out of me. Not the words themselves, but rather what they meant. Especially the verse that goes "When the moon hits your eye/like a big pizza pie..." It painted this bizzare picture in my mind that something would literally shoot out of the moon and fly into in your eye. The part about the 'pizza pie' made me think that "that something" was like a piece of pizza or a topping from a pizza such as a mushroom or slice of pepperoni.
