music

I'm not sure what song it was but this one part went 'ball of chain...' and i always thought it said bowl of cheese

I used to believe…

My aunt and uncle are in a band called the Cucumbers. For some reason, I always used to get them confused with the Beatles. I never wondered why their band seemed to be so famous though no one had heard of my aunt and uncle...

I was looking at this website, and I saw a belief saying,

[I used to think that the 80's song
" I wish that I had Jesse's girl"
was
"I wish that I was Jesse's girl"
and I was so confused as to why a boy would want to be Jesse's girl.
Anon]

When I read that, I thought to myself, "Wait, they DON'T say 'I wish that I was Jesse's girl?'"
Wow, I was always confused about that too!

I thought the Beatle's song "I wanna hold your hand" went "I wanna colder hand" And I thought how awful it was that they were criticizing their girlfriends' hands.

I used to believe…

All growing up my little sister thought the sheryl crow sone "all I wanna do" went a litttle like this..."all I wanna do is get hooked on phonics"
To this day I still sing it that way since i'd hear id so much. Also she sang that song "and if you" by spin doctors was called "ri-nif-you" but the worse one was me...for years I thought the ac/dc song "dirty deeds done dirt cheap" was "dirty deeds and the dungarees" My mother to thid day harasses me. Guess I should have caught on sooner

I used to believe…

Funeral for a Friend - Waking Up

I could swear these were the lyrics:

I'm lying in the truth
I'm covered in blue liquid
A passion for our shoes

But when I looked it up:

Is a lie just the truth
Uncovered and relinquished
A passion for all young fools

Hmmm... I prefer my version :)

I used to believe…

In the '80s song by Til Tuesday called "Voices Carry," for years I thought the line was, "O-oh shush, even downtown, voices carry..."

I thought the singer was talking about being scolded for not being discrete when she was carrying on downtown.

i used to think that that song wheres your head at sed wheres georgina and when i told my mum evrytime she heard that song shed shout out shes here

I used to believe…

in the movie "grease" when they sing the song "look at me i'm sandra dee," there's a line that goes "won't go to bed 'til i'm legally wed." well, being an innocent young child, i used to think this line meant that sandra dee was really determined to get married, and that she would not rest until she was. oh, youth.

I originally thought the lyrics of "Perfect Day" by Lou Reed were "You're going to reap, just watch yourself!" and it was meant as a sort of thread, like Watch Your Back!!

It was after a few years I realised that it's actually "You're going to reap just what you sow" which makes more sense but isn't as funny.

i thought that green days 'holiday' went

i beg to Truman differ from the Holorise
this is the timing of the rest of our lives
on holiday

(actual lyrics)
i beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies
this is the dawning of the rest of our lives
on holiday

but that billie guy is reali hard to understand!!

I thought in the song Two More Years by Bloc Party They were singing Doom on You. Which is a friend of mine's favourite expression.
I felt a bit silly when I realised.

I woke up this morning, and the radio started playing "Bad" by Michael Jackson. I suddenly realized what the first two lines were:
"Your butt is mine.
You're 8 years, right?"

I used to believe…

billy joels "for the longest time" song.as a child till i was about maybe 10 years old, i thought the lyrics where "father long-legs time". i used to always play with those father-long-leg spiders(those orange dots with legs)lol.

I was in the car with my parents when I first heard Elton John's "Candle in the Wind" Maybe the speakers weren't up to par, but I swore he was saying, "Tungla, the bungle whale"

One day, many weeks after that I mentioned it to my mother and asked about that whale named Tungla. It has been a family joke for years.

I thought for years that the line "four calling birds" in The Twelve Days of Christmas was really "four collie birds." I used to picture a bunch of little winged collie dogs flying around.
