I used to believe…

My brother once asked my why, in her song "Lucky," Britney Spears sings, "She fly, fly, flies in her lonely car." I just looked at him, burst into laugher, and shouted, "It's, 'cry, cry, cries in her lonely heart,' you idiot!"

I used to believe that 'Last Christmas' by George Michael was sung by a black woman. Even after seeing the video clip, I was still convinced that a black woman sang that song.

I used to believe…

When I was younger, I asked my mom who Elvis was. She said that he was a person who said "yes" to drugs. For a long time, I used to think that was all he was known for.

I used to think that the songs "Have you Ever Seen the Rain" and "Who'll Stop the Rain" by Creedence Clearwater actually stated "have you ever seen Lorraine?" and "Who'll stop Lorraine?" I could never figure out why they'd write (not one, but TWO!) songs after some lady named Lorraine. Seemed kind of boring to me.

I used to believe…

I truly used to believe that the singer of the German heavy metal band "Sodom", who calls himself "Tom Angelripper" (for he doesn´t seem to like angels) is some kind of Bavarian or Austrian guy and "Angelripper" (sounding kinda like "Schwarzenegger" or "Rockefeller" when you pronounce it German) is a common name in Austria or Bavaria.

I used to believe…

The first time i heard "I Want Candy" by Aaron Carter, I thought it was sung by a girl, and that she really really wanted some candy!

I used to believe…

When i was about 4ish i thought the lyrics for "Funky town" (wah wah nee???) were.....fu**en town

I used to believe…

When I was in an infant church school I used to think that the hymn that goes' I am the lord of the dance said he' was ' I am the lord of the dance settee.' The fact that it was completely illogical never crossed my mind.

I used to believe…

Boy do I feel stoopid...
Justin Timberlake's Sexy Back...
Annoying as hell... yet somewhat catchy...

Dirty babe
You see these shackles
Baby I'm your slave.
I'll let you whip me if I misbehave.
It's just that no one makes me feel this way.

Go head be gone wit it...

I sang it something like this

Dirty babe...
You see these shackles baby I'm insane
I'll let you in me if I misbehave
I't just that Nor makes me feel this way...
Go head get down wit it.

I got visuals of a man being held in a cell with chains because he was crazy before letting someone in him. As far as the Nor part goes... don't know WHERE that came from...

i used to believe that twinkle twinkle little star went "tinkle tinkle little star what a wonder you far are" and was talking about a star weeing and being far away.

I used to believe…

Until I was about 11 when we would watch baseball games or go to them I thought the line "and the home of the brave" was referring to the Braves (my favorite team) dugout...I didn't think it was fair to only sing praise of one team

I used to believe…

There is this song by Avril Lavinge called Complicated. I loved the song, but I made a major mistake on a lyric.

Actual lyric:
"Your never gonna find me fakin'"

What I thought:
"Your never gonna find your bacon."

Yikes, big mistake. =X

I used to believe that Ray Charles was Stevie Wonder's father. I remember telling my oldest brother this (8 years older). He responded by saying, "Just because they are both singers, blind and black, doesn't mean they're related!!"

20 years later, my brother told me he was very impressed at how "logical" I was at 7 years old, even though I was completely misguided in this particular belief.

I used to believe…

One of my friends in (a trade school here in Detroit, MI) Specs Howard School of Broadcast Arts thought the lyrics to the George Harrison song "I Got My Mind Set On You" were "Look out! I might Sit on YOU!" ahahaha....I actually used that on the air once.

I used to think:

Prince's song "Little Red Corvette" was actually "Ring me collect"

The song Karma Chameleon says "with golden dreams" I thought it was "Red corn and Beans"

In Glycerine by Bush there is a line that says "my old friend fear and you and me", I thought it was "my old friend Phil and you and me"

I used to believe…

it´s christmas time, isn´t it? so in "o holy night" it made sense to me to "..fall on your nose - o hear the angel voices" ouch, did anybody just rang a bell?
