radio

When i little i used to believe that whenever that inside the radio where these little people talking and singing so one time my parents where having a grown up party and they told e to put the news on the radio. So i turn it on and start talking back at what i thought were the little people inside the radio. My parents and all their friends started laughing. it was so embarassing

still feeling stupid

I used to believe that when ever a song was played on the radio in the car that the people that sang the song lived in the radio.

when the song the 'entertainer' came on the car radio, I believed there was a complete orchestra inside actually playing the song.

Deanna

i used to believe (because my dad told me so) that AM stood for "awful music" and FM stood for "fine music"

When I was little I used to think that the radio towers was where the people that played the songs worked. I thought that they had to climb up the radio tower since there wasn't a staircase or elevator. I remember thinking to myself that I would never ever work as a radio DJ!

I went with that theory for the longest time before my mom drove close to one. I asked her how they ever fit into the little lights and she just laughed at me and explained it.

When I was little, my dad told me that there was a one man band living in the cd player and he had a little piano as well. I could never figure out how he managed to play so many instruments and I would spend a lot of time looking through the ventilation slots for him. I also believed (stupidly) that the amplifyer was where the control man sat eating apples and twiddling the knobs. He He He

When I was kid, I honestly believed that there were little people inside the speakers of our car radio, and that's how we were able to hear the music!

My mom always listened to oldies' in the car. I didn't have my own radio until I was 11. This is when I found out there was more than one radio station!

I used to think that when you turned off the radio, all the words and sounds would pile up in a jumble then come spilling out when you turned it back on.

I didn't know about radio stations - I always thought that radios knew who was listening to them, and played what that person liked.

I used to believed that there are tiny people living inside the radio and read those news broadcasts. I used to spend a lot of time standing behind the radio (which is quite big at that time) trying to catch someone when they are out shopping. I have never spotted one, but I figured out that they did so when I'm asleep.

I used to think that if you bought an old radio you only heard old radio programmes/songs. So to keep up to date you had to keep buying a new one.It still seems feasible and a shame that it's not true!

Andy

I used to think that when Dad turned the radio up in the car the artist was made to sing louder!!

Sparks

I used to believe that when a person would listen a vintage radio, the "old-timers" music would play. I thought that since the radio was old, the music from it would be, too

Anthony

When listening to Terry Wogan on the radio, I used to think that the musicians/singers were there in the studio with him, as sometimes he'd make comments that sounded like he was talking to them. Things like "thanks for that, what a great song"
