I thought that Neil Young's song "Let's Impeach the President" said the words "Let's impeach the president for smiling" instead of "Let's impeach the president for spying".

I used to believe…

the full house theme song:
what ever happen to the little billetite
milkman, paper boy, even tv
mister old vermillion friends
waiting just around the bend
everywhere u look
its so hard its so hard
i hear your hong kong too
lightness waiting to carry you home

When I was seven I was OBSESSED with Eiffel 65 and specifically their song Blue. I saw the music video for it on Nickelodeon or something and it featured a bunch of blue aliens singing the song. I was completely convinced that that was really the group and I was obsessed with Blue 'cause I thought that was cool. When my dad bought me their CD and I saw a picture of three HUMANS on it I was like "WHO THE HECK ARE THESE PEOPLE?!?!" I figured it all out when I was watching the video with my mom and she told me that the blue aliens were not the group.

i was reading a belief on this site about a choir song that goes "by the muddy muddy banks of the low road". up until i read it, i thought the song went "by the bonnie bonnie banks of lock lomond". no idea what the "bonnie banks" or "lock lomond" are...

i was driving with my sister (she was 17, i was 14) while listening to a christmas music station on the radio, and the song "little saint nick" came on. i started singing to the first verse, and so did she, but we sang different words. she was convinced that she was right, but i knew i was, as i had sung the song in choir. we looked up the lyrics online, and i had a good laugh as she told me what she thought everything was.

"there's a tale about christmas that you've all been told" in her mind was "there's a half a dozen reindeer living out in the cold." i explained to her that half a dozen reindeer was six, and santa had eight reindeer, plus rudoplh.

"christmas comes this time each year" was thought to be "christmas comes this tiny cheer." isn't christmas supposed to be a BIG cheer?

and finally, "run run reindeer" was "one red reindeer". i asked her which reindeer was red, and she said they were talking about rudoplh, with his red nose.

can you believe she was 17 at the time?

When I was about 8yrs. old, everytime I heard the Steve Miller band song "Big Ole Jet Airliner", I thought they were saying "Didn't go to jail at a line up".
I found out what the right words were one day when I heard the DJ say the name of the song.

When she was young, my aunt used to think that the Beatles song 'The girl with kaleidoscope eyes' went 'The girl with kaleidos goes by'. She must've thought that 'kaleidos' was some sort of ailment.

Until I was about 8 I thought the Christmas song that says "Gloria in excelsius day-o" [or however the crap you spell it xP] said "Oreo".

Didn't make sense to me at the time why in Christmas songs they'd be singing about Oreos, but I just assumed...

Well ya know that song by Brittany Spears, Oops I did it again?
Well the song goes like this:Oops!...You think I'm in love
That I'm sent from above
I'm not that innocent

I thought it said: Oops you think im a dove
gonna sing from my heart
my names not vincent

When ever I heard the song "Respect" by Aretha Franklin, I would sing along to it as "R-E-S-P-E-C-P" It was close, save for that last letter, but for the longest time I could not get the lyrics correct and everytime my mom and older sister would laugh at me for it.

I used to believe…

When my dad was little he thought "I shot the Sherriff" was "I'm shockin' Sherry". To this day (I'm grown up now) if I am with him when that song comes on I will start singing "I'm shockin' Sherry" and we both get a good laugh

I used to wonder how bands and orchestras knew how to play music for vocalists (I didn't understand that performances were prepared because it appeared to me that the singer spontaneously started breaking into song and the musicians were able to figure out how to play for him/her).

I used to believe…

When I first heard the song "Your Nose is gonna grow" I actually thought a girl sang it. (it was on a record called 'wacky weirdos" and the artist names weren't mentioned). I learned that it was sung by Johnny Crawford only a year ago. I didn't pay attention to the lyrics before but now I do and laugh at them for Ex.."I saw you late last night/you were holding that other boy tight" And I thought it was a girl singing it about her boyfriend not a guy singing about his girlfriend. LOL still love to play it today and pretend it's a girl. He sure sounded like one.

The first time I ever heard a harmonica was on Black Sabbath's debut album on the song entitled
"the Wizard" My brother told me the harmonica on the song was actually a ghost on the record. I was about 4 years old. Now at 38, the song still creeps me out (the cover was pretty scary too). And any song I hear with a harmonica similar to it reminds me of "the ghost" and the "witch woman"on the album cover. Good one brother.

I believed for 2 years that the chorus of the song "Lola's Theme" by the Shapeshifters was "I love Vanessa, turn my world around!" Actually the real words are "I'm a different person, yeah, turned my world around". Sometimes the lyrics of dance tracks can be hard to understand. Too much bass beat!

I used to believe…

wen i was bout 5 we used to sing this song at school assemblies .. i ALWAYS thought it was

" rock my sole in the person of the bakery?"
instead of
"rock my soul in the bosom of abraham"

i remember visions of a chef rocking someones shoe..

the even more embarrasing thing is that we had words projected up onto the wall...

I used to believe…

In addition to believing that Elton John sang, "Hold me closer, Tony Danza!" instead of "Tiny dancer," I couldn't figure out if he was saying "Lay me down in sweet surender" or "Lay me down in sheets of linen." Whenever I sang it, I would switch it up. This website motivated me to find out which was right...the latter.
