pop stars

I used to believe that Brian May of Queen was the presenter of "Magpie" (he wasn't - it was lookey-likey Mick Robertson).

I also used to believe that the voice from inside the radio was a person actually in there and I remember trying to squint through the lit-up dial and see them. (It was a big radio, OK?!)

Pearcey

I was born in 1960 and I believed my father was Elvis Presley (he was thin with black hair and he was cool), one day I heard Elvis on the radio and said "there you are" and after some explaining on what I meant, everyone laughed at me and my feelings were hurt but my dad is still cool.

Lisa

My sister used to think that a line from the song "Say Say Say" by Paul McCartney and Michael Jackson, was "Say, say say what you want, but don't play games with my erection(affection)"

Tiffene

I thought my aunt was Tina Turner actually, but she is keeping this as a secret...

sel

I used to think that the posters on my wall were watching me at night. I used to hide under the covers and peep out to see if any of them had moved. I wish the Kylie one did

Captain Crabs

I used to listen to the back to the future soundtrack. The second track was called, "The Bomb Town," and was by Lindsey Buckingham. I thought she was some pop singer of the 80s. The voice also made me think the same, but after a few years, I saw the movie "Vacation," and the song "Holiday Road" was also by Lindsey Buckingham. I figured it was the same woman. Later I heard she was married to Stevie Nicks, but then I fianlly figured it out...

Lindsey Buckingham was the guitar player for Fleetwood Mac, and HE was married to the singer, SHE was Stevie Nicks.

Neato Man

My Sister still believes [at 22]that Alice cooper and Marti Pellow are women

Taz

I used to think Sid Vicious was a comic book caracter.I saw him on posters and t-shirts everywhere.But only in low quality black-and-white.I also used to think that he was really scary and really cute.

Came home to see my brother watching that old Midnight Music show. I asked him who was hosting and he said "Alice Cooper but I haven't seen her yet." I look at the TV and there's Alice and I said that is Alice Cooper. Freaked him out big-time.

Not Alice

I thought Stevie Nicks was a guy until I read this page. Wow, I wonder how much other stuff I'm not aware of.

Josh, 17

When I was younger, I used to think that when the radio played a song, that the performer was in the studio. I wondered how all of those people fit in there.

merle

I used to think that Terry Hall of 'The Specials' went away for a bit and then came back as Robert Smith of 'The Cure'

Paul Noble

I saw Stevie Nicks on TV and thought the microphone was a weird ice cream cone because she had her mouth so close to it.

kat

Someone once told me that Mariah Carey was a "white girl with a black soul" so I thought she was born in a black family but was white, thus making her feel kind of left out.
