music

I used to believe…

In a country song by Crystal Gale that had a line in it that said "Don't it make my brown eyes blue", my Dad and I would sing, "Doughnuts make my brown eyes blue."

I used to believe…

when i was like 8 or so, they would show reruns of "the monkees" on nickelodeon. i was in love with davy jones so i looked him up in the phone book. i found a david jones and kept telling him how much of a fan i was and that i loved him. the guy threatened the cops. i didnt realize that davy jones could possibly live somewhere else and not in my small town in Texas.

I used to believe…

Remember "Crazy for You" by Madonna?
I heard "two by two their bodies become one" as "two by two their bodies decompose". As I was not quite 10, I thought this was the nastiest thing I had ever heard!

I used to believe…

In Fleetwood Mac's song "On the Edge of Seventeen" I thought the lyrics were:

Just like a wild wingdah
Sings a song sounds like she's singing
Ooh, baby, ooh, say ooh.

I always wondered what a "wild wingdah" looked like - I imagined it was a large bird with enormous brightly colored wings. Guess I had a good imagination :)

I used to believe…

For ages I think I and many others thought that Kenny Rogers sung "You picked a fine time to leave me Lucille, with 300 children and a croc in the field".

Actually "3 hungry children and a crop in the field" I believe it was.

I used to believe…

The song I was taught when I was little was:

Mare's eat Oats
and Does eat Oats
and Little Lambs eat ivy,
A kid will eat ivy too
wouldn't you?

This is what I would always sing, thinking the words:

Marsey Dotes and Dosey Dotes
and little lamsey divey
A kiddley divey doo
Wouldn't you?

I could never understand what it meant but never really questioned it, until I became much older and met up with someone who thought the same thing. After talking about it we came to the conclusion "Oh! So those are the words!"

I believed that my Dad's friend Phil and Bruce Springsteen were the same person, because they both had sort of bushy hair and wore denim sometimes. It didn't matter than Phil was Cornish.

I used to believe…

There's a Dixie Chicks song that goes, "I want to grow something wild and unruly"

I heard it as "I want to grow something wild, Anna Nooly"

This entire time I've been wondering who Anna Nooly was and why the singer was telling her that. O___o;;

I used to believe…

Well, this is mum's rather than mine!

NEWeiz, she thought that 'The Hardest Button to Button' by The White Stripes went 'The Hardest ******* Toboggan'.

Before she told me this, I knew the correct words, but now when I hear it, I always think of Mum and smile to myself! XD

I believed the words to the nursery rhyme were:

It's raining, It's puring
the old man is snoring
He went to bed
with a bucket on his head
And couldn't get up in the morning.

I used to believe that Elvis sang " she rode a pony" instead of "she wrote upon it" in the song return to sender, I always imagined the girl sitting in a farm and riding her pony to return the letter as soon as she got it!

I used to think that 'you'll go down in history' in Rudolf the Red-nosed Reindeer was 'you'll go down in his story'.

I believed that all songs just existed. I never imagined anyone could write one even though I knew about writing poetry. "New" songs (hits) were just songs someone had found and decided to sing and make popular.

I used to believe…

No word of a lie and boy do I feel stupid now = I always thought that the song that says " Doo Wah Diddy Diddy Dum Diddy Do" said "Do what daddy did to mommy to make me"

I used to believe…

when i first saw linkin park's video for "One Step Closer" I thought the guys were 12.
they had baby faces and how did I know they were all in their 20s. just look at chester and mike when you watch it

I used to believe…

that rivers cuomo (from weezer) and buddy holly were the same person because of the glasses. when they first came out i wondered how a dead guy could be the lead singer of a band
