music

I used to believe…

When I was younger my sister told me she was allergic to country music so she wouldn't have to listen to me play it and I completely believed her. I actually thought you could be allergic to a certain kind of music! Later that day I went through a bunch of records to see if I was allergic to any kind of music.

I used to believe…

For the longest time (at age 10 in 1972) and for many years after, I swore that the song "Long Cool Woman in a Black Dress," actually performed by the Hollies, had been performed by the Rolling Stones! I could've SWORN this!! (Still, wouldn't it be cool to have the Stones cover this song?! Phish did, in their earliest years and just before they broke up!)

I remember walking to school singing The Doors song "Light my Fire." I thought it was about a guy who went camping, forgot matches, and was singing to a female camper who was walking by....you know, "Come on baby light my fire..."

I could see him on his knees next to his camp fire, pleading for matches "Try to set the night on fire...!"

I used to believe that the lyric to Anarchy in the UK by the Sex Pistols was
'I wanna destroy Piss supply'
the actual lyric is 'I wanna destroy passerby'

I used to believe…

In the Green Day song, "Boulevard of Broken Dreams," when the singer says, "Sometimes I wish someone up there will find me," I thought he said "Sometimes I wish a grizzly bear will find me."

My younger brother Jack was born in Mosside in Manchester in the early eighties. A few years later, ther Eurythmics released the song 'Thorn in my side'. My brother went round singing "Born in Mosside, You know thats all you ever were", thinking the song was about him...

We use to have to sing that song "My Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean" in elementary school. It troubled me everytime, because I swore that the song said "My Body Lies Over the Ocean." It's really kind of scared me.

I used to believe…

When I first heard "she bangs, she bangs" from William Hung, I didn't understand what it meant until I sang it to the princepal of my middle school in 7th grade, I learned in detention.

I used to believe…

until 30 seconds ago i thought it was "Babe paradise put up a parking lot" instead of "they paid paradise to put up a parking lot" in CHeeseburger in Paradise. I found out from some person's belief, sorry!

I used to think that the christmas song that goes " Look to the future now, it's only just beguuuuuuun" went "Roll to the future now..." I always used to dance arouund my room to that song and everytime I'd do a roly poly:P

I used to believe…

in the jamiroquai tune
'Dance, nothing left for me to do but dance,
Off these bad times I'm going through just dance
Got canned heat in my heels tonight baby'

stupidly i thought the last line went

''got candy in my heels tonight big ben''
and a friend thought it was
''got candy in my ears tonight big breath''
!!!

I used to believe…

in the wannadies 'you and me song' i thought one of the chorus's went 'but its you and me and will always, and forever' instead of 'but it's you and me, and we'll always, be together' i took me a few while to work it out

I used to believe…

in the vengaboys song 'whoa were going to ibiza' that they were actualy saying 'whoa were going to eat pizza' if u hear it, it really does sound a lot like eat pizza!

I used to think that the song 'Row, Row, Row You Boat' said "life is pot a scream" instead of "life is but a dream." My da still teases me about that.

I used to believe…

In the Greenday song "Holiday" i heard "Blay, blay, you're the broken cabinet" instead of "bang bang goes the broken glass and"

That song is REALLY hard to understand. Try it.

I used to believe…

There is a part of the Canadian anthem that goes, "God keep our land/Glorious and free". For the longest time I thought that "Gloria Sanfree" was a great Canadian heroine, and I often wondered why we never learned about her in school.
