music

I used to believe…

My sister used to think that the Blues Travelers song "Run-around" started "Hooked by a reel at a fishing party" instead of "Once upon a midnight dreary"

I used to believe…

My parents used to listen to country music all of the time so I knew most songs that came onto the radio. I was convinced that the lyrics to David Lee Murphy's "Dust on the Bottle" said "don't let it fool ya, my wife's inside" instead of "don't let it fool ya, about what's inside"

I used to believe…

Men At Work - Land Down Under

"he just smiled and gave me a bit of my sandwich"

I knew this didn't sound right unless the man from Brussels and full of muscles was a bit vacant.
But I had no idea what else it could be. I looked it up and found out it really says

"he just smiled and gave me a vegemite sandwich"

Whatever that is..

I used to believe…

RHCP- scar tissue

"with birds I share this lonely view"

I always thought it said with birds and shed it's alone with you

I used to believe…

my mum used to think the line "you missed a spot over there" in "Stacy's Mom" (by Fountains of Wayne) was "yo Mr Spock over there". She thought that was Stacy's Mom's way of flirting with the guy! we teased her when we found out...

I was listening to the New Found Glory song "Sonny" - it talks about a person who has died and I heard one line that said "pictures fade away, coz never means forever." This line really impacted me - I thought it was a really clever way of putting it, because when someone dies the thing that hurts the most is that you will never see them again, and that means for forever! I was very disappointed to learn that it was actually "pictures fade away, but memories forever..."

I used to believe…

My boyfriend's seven-year-old daughter was singing "Do the Funky Lady!" to Aeosmith's "Dude Looks Like a Lady." So funny!

I once did a report on Marilyn Manson, but I had no idea who MM was, so I made up some facts, one I remember was that "she attended an all girls school from ages 6-12" boy was I in trouble!!

I used to believe…

For my kindergarten Christmas concert, my class sang that song that goes "Let there be peace on earth, and let it begin with me." Even though the song emphasizes the togetherness of all people as brothers, I completely missed the point and believed the line "Let me walk with my brother" referred specifically to my older brother Adam. I imagined us going for a stroll in our neighborhood on a sunny spring day. I thought it would have been nice to have my little brother along, too, but he was only two then and I didn't think he could keep up.

I used to believe…

The first time my mate played me the slipknot song "people = shit" he didnt tell me the name of the song. Consequently when it came to the chorus i thought he was saying "people who eat horse shirts!"

I used to believe…

There is a DevilDriver song that I really love called "swinging the dead". The first lines are`:

Pick it up get it up
the chillin, thrillin sounds
of the rock and roll huanting

Now when I heard this song I was convinced it was:

Pick it up, get it up,
thats the swinging sound
of the rock and roll honkey

I later looked up the lyrics to check this and laughed myself silly at the mistake.

I used to believe…

When I was 7-10 years old, I used to believe that music would eventually end one day. That the singers would run out of ideas and music just end like any other thing!

I used to believe…

My friend used to think one guy in the Hansons was a girl and he had a huge crush on him and then his mom told him that sometimes guys just have really long hair. XD

I used to think when a member of a band would release a solo album, they would just play their own instruments parts of the bands famous songs.

I used to believe…

The Eiffel 65 song Blue (about a blue colored alien, as far as I can tell?!)has lyrics that say "I'm blue; da bah dee, dah ba di" but I heard
"I'm blue; I was green, I was dyed..."

No matter which way, the song lyrics are odd...

I used to think when they say ''i walk a lonley road,the only one that i have ever known'' in Greenday's song Blvd of Broken Dreams that he was saying that all his life he lived on some road called Blvd of Broken Dreams in that house thing they pass on the music vidio. and i didn't get when he said ''I walk alone'' and Mike & Tre were walking right next to him
