I used to believe…

In the song "Makes Me Wonder" by Maroon 5, there's a line that goes, "Wake up, bloodshot eyes, struggle to memorize". But when I heard it the first couple of times, I thought it was, "Wake up, brush my eyes". I envisioned Adam Levine grabbing a toothbrush and vigorously getting rid of eye plaque.

In Grease's Summer Nights, I thought Danny and Sandy had stayed out 'tilting a clock', as opposed to 'till 10 o'clock.'

i thought it was just what kids used to do for kicks...

I used to believe…

Until About 6 months ago, I thought the AC/DC song was " thirty thieves and the thunder chief" not "dirty deeds done dirt cheap." I thought it was about a group of peole who do things for you for money...get drunk and sing that at the top of your lungs in a bar and watch what happens.....

I believed that song lyrics had no meaning- they were just words strung together to fit the melody of the music. I thought this until I was about 7 or 8 and a friend's mom broke down the song "Candle in the Wind" to help me understand its meaning. Yes, the song was touching, but I was impressed that songs had 'meanings' at all!

I used to believe…

when i was little i told my mom i wanted to be a Spice Girl and i told her i couldnt be one becuz they were older then me. she told me they had a special shot to make they stay the same age so i can catch up. i believed that till i was in 5th grade!

Until recently (I'm 17) I thought the song by The Who, "Happy Jack" was about an unpopular Australian politician who managed to usurp and abuse most of the country's power. Because the people hated him, they tied stones to the ends of rope, slung the rope over him and drowned him. I believed the line "They couldn't stop Jack or the water's lapping/ and they couldn't prevent Jack from feeling happy" referred to the water lapping over his head as he drowned with a smile on his face because of all the immoral things he'd done. The best part is I didn't even realize I believed this until I listened to the song this year and memories of my odd little story came back!

i used to think the term prima donna was pre-madonna, and thought that when somebody used that term to describe someone, it meant that the person acted or looked like Madonna in the early 80's!

I used to believe…

You know the song "move along" by the All-American Rejects?
Part of the chorus goes like this:
Move along, move along like I know you do
And even when your hope is gone
Move along, move along just to make it through
Move along

Well, my son heard this song except he thought instead of singing "move along" they were singing "mow the lawn."

Mow the lawn, mow the lawn like I know you do
And even when your hope is gone
Mow the lawn, mow the lawn just to make it through

He didn't understand why anybody would write a song encouraging people to mow the lawn.

I used to believe…

As a child of 6 or 7, I believed the lyrics to George Harrison's "Got My Mind Set On You" were "I got my mom to sit on you." Everyone on my bus to school would sing the wrong lyrics when the song aired.

I used to believe…

When I was a boy there was a popular song by Val Dooligan called 'Walk Tall'. The lyric goes: She said, 'Son be a proud man and hold your head up high' . I heard it as: She said,'Son be a frogman and hold your head up high' ...I still do

I realized what an idea of Michael Jackson I've had. Though I knew he had changed deliberately.
He used to be black then he was/is white. So... he just grew up like this. He grew... pale.

I used to think that Elton John and Sir Elton John were two different people, and that the former died in 1994, and the latter had no reason to be mentioned anywhere, because as far as I could tell, all he ever did was be gay, and that wasn't notable on its own.

I used to believe [not too long ago actually xD]that My Chemical Romance boys were about 15-20.
I thought the lead singer, Gerard Way, was the youngest.
...and that he was gay.

[I'm a huge fan now!]

I've got two songs that I misheard the lyrics to. One is Anthrax's "Belly of the Beast". When the singer sings "You shovel your conscience into the grave", I believed for the longest time that he was singing "You show your prostitute to the grave". (??)
The other one is Megadeth's "Symphony of Destruction".
Real lyrics:"Dance like marionettes, swing to the Symphony of Destruction."
Misheard Lyrics: "Dance like a million ants, sing to the symphony of destruction." [:) I was weird.

I used to believe…

hot chocolate's I believe in miracals, my hubby sings, " I can see my genitals, i wear no pants, i let them swing"!! Although he knows its wrong, it always has us in fits!!

I used to think that the words to Feed the World by Band Aids lyrics were 'We know Whooooaa!'
instead of ' Feed the World' I believed this untill last christmas, im 20 now.

I used to believe…

in bohemian rhapsody, there's a lyric

"Be-elzebub, has a devil put aside for me"

In my defense, it does sound quite a lot like

"Beelzebub, has a devil of a sideboard whee!"
