"Hold me closer Tony Danza"

I first heard the song Holiday by Green Day at Rock in the Park 2005. When they played it, they dedicated it to 'George W fucking Bush', therefore I thought the lyrics said 'One holy man' instead of 'on holiday'. LOL

I used to believe…

In alien ant farms cover of smooth criminal, i use to think it went like "you could see she... was a nebo, then you ran into the bathroom, you were flushed down, your toilet."

instead of:
He could see she was unable
So she ran into the bedroom
She was struck down
It was her doom

PS whats a nebo?

I used to believe…

For the longest time i was sure that the Lyrics to the song Bad Moon On the Rise was"The Baboon on the Right"... I really did not know what the rest of the song had to do with a Baboon though

I used to believe…

That great 80's classic by Def Leppard "Pour Some Sugar On Me" - until earlier this year (I'm now 26) I was convinced they were singing the first line of the chorus in French - "Por vous jude anglais". Funnily enough, for the most part they aren't even real French words so goodness knows what I though they were singing about.

I used to believe…

when i was a kid, my grandma used to wash my hair for me and she used to sing "Today" to me. it so happened that the shampoo i was using then was "wella blassom", so for a long time, I thought my grandma was praising the shampoo since i mistook "Today, while the blossoms" as "today, wella blassom"

I used to believe…

When I was about 7 or 8 I strongly believed that in Michael Jackson's “Beat It” when he says "Showin' how funky strong is your fight" that he was saying "fuck-y". I knew it was a bad word and was shocked that he would say such a thing. Well in second grade we had an assembly with a dance set to that song. I vehemently insisted to my friends that he was saying “fuck-y”. They promptly turned me into the teacher for swearing. Fearing repercussion from the teacher or my parents, I ran out of the room crying and was so embarrassed that I couldn't look anyone in the eye for the rest of the day.

I used to believe…

Not my belief, but my sisters.
In the Bon Jovi song, when he sings, "Shot by the heart and you're to blame, you gave love a bad name."
She thought he sang, "Shot by the heart, and you're too lame, you gave love a bad name."
What a dummy!

I used to think the words of Musical Youth's song "Pass the dutchie on the left-hand side" were "Arzy dodgy on the left-hand side".

I used to believe…

When I was about 5, my family and sunday school liked to sing the song "Climb up Sunshine Mountain." The lyrics said "Climb up Sunshine Mountain, faces all aglow." I thought that the glowing faces were what the mountain was made of. I always felt eerie hearing about little kids climb up (what I pictured to be) a mountain giant green monster faces.

I used to believe…

In the chorus of Greenday's "Holiday," the lyrics go "I beg to dream and differ." When I first heard it, I thought it was "I beg to Truman."

I thought "why are they talking about dead presidents?"

I though the lyrics to Paul Simon's Call Me Al went:
I can call you baby,
Ready when you call me
You can call me out.
In stead of:
I can call you Betty
And Betty when you call me
You can call me Al
It seemed to make sense at the time!

I used to believe…

my mom used to belive that the lyrics to 'i belive in miricles" was i belive in milk calls. maybe thats why she didnt like the song!

I used to believe…

ABBA'S SONG: SUPER TROOPER

" I WAS SICK & TIRED OF EVERYTHING, WHEN I CALLED YOU LAST NIGHT FROM TESCO'S"

Don't know where she called from but it was definately not TESCOs.

I used to think the words of the Bee Gees' song "How deep is your love" were "If you come to me I'll suffer-ee" (which doesn't make sense, but I also used to think that to suffer meant to feel happy - the opposite of what it actually means!). I now know that it reads "And you come to me on a summer breeze".

I also thought the line "breaking us down" sounded like "breaking the spell". Because in the story of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs the Prince "breaks the spell" by kissing her, my Mum used to tell me to "break the spell" by giving my gran a kiss, so that was what I thought it meant.

I used to believe…

until recently my other half strongly believed that the well known song"shes got Betty Davis eyes" was "shes got better days alive"

I used to believe…

in the song "sugar" by system of a down:
i thought "the kombusha mushroom people sitting around all day" was "sitting on razor blades", and a friend of mine thought "yeah they call it insane" was "in the coloring sea"

I used to believe…

Not mine but my daughters. When Will Smith released Wild,Wild West he does that bit where he says Wicky Wild Wild or something to that effect. My daughter used to get really upset and scream that LaLa wasn't wicked.
Teletubbies are a dangerous thing for young minds.
