I used to believe…

In the Sound of Music song 'Favourite Things' in the line where it says "When the dog bites" i used to think it said "When the door bites" i never made sense to me but no one told me it was wrong until last year when i was singing it with my sister.

I thought the words to Technotronic's "Pump Up the Jam" were "Oh I, I pledge to say, get your booty on the floor tonight, make my day." Well, 18 years after the song was popular, I was singing it in the car and and my husband laughed at me and said the words are "I want a place to stay, get your booty on the floor tonight, make my day." I thought he was crazy, that didn't even make sense. I argued until we got to my sister's house where we looked it up on the internet. He was right.

I used to believe…

In the song "Reeling In The Years by Steely Dan, I thought they were saying "If you're running out of peas/ you can have a bunch of mine." I seriously thought the song was about sharing vegetables!

I used to believe that the reason Ray Charles' back-up group, the Raylettes, seemed to sing the same words as Ray did was because he was blind and couldn't read them himself.

I used to believe…

In the The Academy Is... song, Neighbors, I thought the line was "Sit back and get my paddy wacked."
It's really "sit back and get my palette wet."

I used to believe…

My house was near the high school, and on Friday nights, the band would play marching songs very loud.

My older brother told me that was the German Army marching toward the house. Even today, "25 or 6 to 4" by Chicago gives me the willies.

I similarly thought that "Proud Mary" included the lyrics "pumped a lot of tanks down in New Orleans."

I used to believe…

When I was a kid, I thought that the line in the song, "You're the One That I Want," from Grease went as follows:

"You're the one that I want, John Travolta, woo, hoo, hoo..."

I used to believe…

Growing up playing with a certain 70's death defying daredevil's array of merchandise including Stunt van , chopper and the famous crank wind up motorcycle toy, put a bit of an impression in my 6 year old mind when listening to the Who's lyrics "behind blue eyes" and the line " ...and if I swallow Evil Knievel(anything evil), put you fingers down my throat.."

I used to believe that the song Hotel California by The Eagles was meant to be taken literally as a story about a resort. I was particularly fixated on the lyric "You can check out any time you like, but you can never leave." I took this to mean that, you could check out, but then you had to sit around the lobby (with your luggage) for the rest of your life.

I used to think the song 'play that funky music' actually said 'play that f**kin' music, white boy!' and it confused the hell out of me, because i thought that you couldn't say 'f**k' o tv or radio. I thought that till i was like, 13 and heard my sister singing it the right way.

I used to believe…

My friend used to think the song criticize said 'Don't criticize my eye brows'
She was really embarrassed when her mum told me this, I actually think her lyrics is better than the real song!!

I used to believe…

There's a song by a band called No Doubt. The song is called Spiderwebs. In the song, I always thought she sang "i'm gonna scream my boobs off." In reality, she says "I'm gonna screen my phone calls." Took me til I was about 20 to realize what she was really saying.

I used to believe…

After reading someone else's belief-for years I thought Springsteen's "Tenth Avenue Freeze Out" was actually "Dead Devil with Freeze Eyes"

Er yeah

i believed that michelle gayle's sweetness song contained the lyrics shade in sheep shit!

I used to believe…

when I was a child I used to believe that in 'who wants to live forever' by Queen instead of *when love must die* they sang *I love my style* kinda boastful isnt it? :D
