songs

At the age of three I asked my grandmother who loved opera why the conductor guy on the tape thinger had bad hair. She said it was because he waved around his arm so much that it made wind that blew his hair around. I still believed this up until last week when I was told that otherwise!

I used to believe Radiohead sang "Kiss from a Rose" before I knew what the song was called. I have no idea why I thought this.

My family and I go to this pizza place. At the pizza place there are mini juke boxes at each table. When i was little I always wanted to play Achey Braky Heart by the Chipmunks. My parents told me if I played that song i would arrested! Let me tell you, I steared clear of that song for a while!

I used to think the Aaron Carter song "I want Candy" was about sex, lol.

I used to believe that songs didnt have lyrics, and singers were making just pointless meaningless melodic sounds.

My littler girl (when she was 7) was listening to her big sister (who was 16)'s Eminem CD, when she called me over and said "look mommy the guy is making beeping noises!"

must watch what my kids are listening to

I used to think that the song "Cocaine" was "Cocoa." I would go around the house singing "she don't like... cocoa."

ok this is really sad but until i read here i thought conductors of orchesters did tell the musicians what notes to play? what do they really do?

When I was little, I had this superstition that if I said the word "die", I would die. So whenever I heard a song on the radio with 'The Word' in it, I would substitute a word that sounded the same (like cry or try)....my parents thought I was very odd...

When i was small, i thought that when a song used tp play on the radio, it was because the artist came to play it at the radio station... :P

When I was little my older brother would listen to the song "Iron Man". In the beginning of the song, a metallic voice says "I.. AM... IRON MAN!" That freaked me out so bad... I always envisioned a huge metal robot crashing through the window and killing me.

I thoght that "Thick as a brick" by Jethro Tull was actually written by an 11 y.o. boy up until like a week ago.

when i was a little kid, I thought the song "Afternoon Delight" was about a picnic. I still remember sitting in the back of my parent's Chevy Nova, singing "skyrockets in flight, afternoon delight!" Years later when I heard it again I was SHOCKED at it's real meaning!!!!

When songs came on the radio, adults would say, 'Oh, that's by so-and-so.' I was amazed they knew so much, and scared that knowing who sang what songs was something you were forced to memorize in school.

When I was 6 or 7, I used to think that the Hall & Oates song "Sara Smile" was written just for me....In my mind, there was no other explaination for the inclusion of the name "Sarah" into a song.
