I used to believe…

When I was about 7 there was a big field by my school and a small shack. I was told that Bon Jovi lived there. That was enough to convince me. After a while that shack was torn down and loads of houses took over. I wondered what happened to poor Bon Jovi.

A while ago I was complaining to some people, who like Fall Out Boy, that FOB were hard to understand. I told them I only knew what they were saying 'cause someone told me. You know, the part that goes:

'We're going down town, and we're running around,
Sugar we're going down singing,
I'll be your number 1 with a bullet,
Na na na na na,
Cocking and bullet.'

I only got as far as running around before they stopped me, laughing. I'm glad they didn't hear the rest. hehe

P.S The real lyrics are:

'We're going down, down in an earlier round
And Sugar, we're going down swinging
I'll be your number one with a bullet
A loaded god complex, cock it and pull it'

I used to believe…

Pave paradise, put up a f*** in life.

The real words are of course, 'Put up a parking lot'.

My friend thought it was, 'Put up with f*** in life'. :( Sounds better than mine.

I used to believe…

My son was singing something to the tune of "La Cuckaracha", but it didn't quite sound right. I thought I'd teach him a little something and I said, "Do you know what La Cuckaracha means?". He looked at me funny and said, "Croctch?". All this time he had been singing, "Cro-o-o-o-othca! Cro-o-o-o-tcha!"

I used to think that 'gay' just meant happy and when the teacher asked what I wanted to be when I grew up I replied 'gay' when the teacher asked me what I meant by that I said 'Gay, just like Elton John'

When I was in highschool, I was singing along with the radio. They were playing that song by Phil Collins, I think it's called "Against All Ods." My best friend told me that when he said, "There's just an empty space," she thought he said, "The last child to match his face." She realized what the real lyrics were when I sang it.

I used to have a tape that I played over and over until everybody was sick of it. It was one of those silly song tapeswith goofy kids songs. There was a song that mentioned several types of food and had something that rhymed with it. It was crazy. One of the verses went like this:
Oh it's meat, meat, meat that knocks you of your feet.
So one day after playing that tape, we were having dinner. I was scared to death to take a bite of the meat. We were sitting in the floor around a coffee table in front of the TV, and I thought if I ate the meat, I would be lifted through the air and thrown to the other side of the room. My mom got so agravated trying to get me to understand that the people on the tape were not serious. I didn't like meat anyway, so when this happened, she thought it was because of the tape.

I used to believe…

Back when that song "How Bizarre" used to be popular, I used to think it was "Parmesan." I found out this wasn't the case when my mom and I were in the mall and it started to play, and I said, "not 'Parmesan' again!" Once my mom stopped laughing she corrected me. In my defense, I was 8 or 9 at the time :p

I thought the lyrics to "Camptown racer" were:

"Countdown ladies sing this song! Tuna! Tuna!"

Later, I figured out that they weren't saying Tuna, but even after that, I thought it was "Countdown ladies"

I used to believe…

Being in the final year at school, we get a common room in school, where we can play our own music and stuff, although most of the other people in my year are into R&B and rap, and I'm, well... not. They keep on playing Christina Milian's 'AM to PM', and until today I was totally convinced that the part that goes:

'All the chicks and the fellas in the bars...'

actually went:

'All the chicks kick the fellas in the balls...'

Last time I try and sing along :P

I used to believe…

Re the song "Brimful of asha". Recently heard my friend singing along, however she had slightly different lyrics. Hers were "Grim tooth basher". She's 27. However the same girl though that Madonnas "Like a virgin" was in fact "Like a bird king"

I used to believe…

This is actually my friend's belief, not mine.
Okay, you know the song "Come What May" from Moulin Rouge? The part where they say "Want to vanish, inside your kiss"? Yeah, my friend, was completely convinced that they said "Want to varnish, insert your kiss." It took a lot of repetitions of the song and my insisting before she would finally concede that I was right not her. Oh and we're almost 17, and this was less than a year ago.

I used to believe…

Up until about a year ago, I thought that in the George Michael song "Father Figure" he was saying "I'll be your bottom feeder". I thought it was a reference to a specific sex act common among gay males...

I used to believe…

In the song "Simply Irresistible", the guy sings "She's all mine, there's no telling where we'll go" or something. I always thought he was saying "Geez oh man, there's no telling where we'll go". It made sense to me because he was like knocked off his feet by the girl.

I used to believe…

Until my vacation a few weeks ago, I thought that the new music was only played for a few weeks, then forgotten for something new. Because I only listen to the old songs, like The Beatles, Rolling Stones, etc. I really believed that it was no use to get attached to new music because after a year you'd never hear it again! ... I AM a bit stupid at times.

I used to believe…

The song Betty Davis Eyes, actual words:

All the boys think she's a spy, she's got Betty Davis eyes.

Misheard as:

All the boys think she's a spaz, she's got Betty Davis eyes.

Not just a I used to believe more of a I've always believed and at the age of 33 a mate has kindly told me the real words, thanks Jon I preferred my lyrics better
