radio

I used to believe there were little people and whole tiny orchestras inside the speakers of my parents' stereo. How else could the voices and music come from them??

I asked my dad how the sound came through the radio and he told me that there were little people inside.

i was 12 before i knew there were such things as radio stations. i knew the radio played music but i had no idea how and certainly didn't think there was more than 1 person controlling the whole thing...

1) I used to believe that bands would line up in the hall of a radio station and wait their turn to play their songs on the radio.

2) I used to believe that milk was a cow's pee.

3) I used to believe that the "SEX" section on a drivers license stood for
Moderate and Fatastic. I thought that was also a part of the test to get your license.

I used to believe that there were tiny humans inside the radio. These tiny humans loved music so much that they played and sang all day long, resting only when the tiny human announcer would do the commercial breaks and the news.

I use to believe that music on the radio was made by little people who LIVED inside the radio. Men would sing solos and group #'s and the same for women.

Up until about two years ago I thought NPR's Morning Edition was brought to you by the few charitable trusts (not the Pugh Charitable Trusts)...oops

when i was four or five i always believed that somehow the people on the radio
could hear me singing my own made up songs and would steal them .

I used to believe there was a lady sitting in the radio, singing.

that when the radio played it was really coming from the roof where all the bands lived.

At one time, I believed that there were tiny people inside the radio that sang all the songs. When my Mom told me that the music came from a radio station, I wondered (1) how they all fit in there at once, and (2) how they got from station to station so fast!

I used to beleive that there were little people in the radio. So one night I sat up all night waiting for the little people to come out so I could can't them and put them in my doll house. My sister ask me what was I doing and I told her, she told me that there were no people in there and to go to sleep. I went to bed, still defiantly believing that there were people in there, and having a good time to.

I used to think that when you turned off the radio, the song that was playing would come back on and finish when you turned the radio back on.

I thought that if you turned off your radio when a song was on, the song would stop until you turned the radio back on. (And start where it left off) :-)

I used to believe that old radios would only ever play old music

This isn`t really my belief, but my son`s. He was four years at that time, and had just got a small radio. Many times, ha asked me to open the radio, but he didn`t tell me why, until one day... Then he said: Mama, please open the radio, I want to see the little man inside it! I asked, what little man? He said: The man who is sitting inside the radio, talking and singing, I want to see him, can`t we let him out now?

We used to get a coach to school every morning and the driver used to listen to BBC Radio 2 on it. For the longest time I thought the DJ that had the breakfast show was called 'Joe Stracey' because they had this jingle that sounded like 'Radio 2 ... Joooooe Straaaaacey'. It wasn't until I was about 17 that I found out that the jingle actually said 'Radio 2 ... gooooes racing' and preceeded their tips for that days horse racing and that the DJ was actually Terry Wogan.

I remember going through an old cupboard once when I was about nine years old and finding this really old looking '60s styled radio. I ran upstairs and plugged some batteries into it because I was certain that I'd be able to listen really old radio shows - shows as old as the radio, straight from the past. I was gutted when I turned it on and heard that week's top 40 chart show.

Hutch

i use to believe that all those songs played on the radio were the singers right there all together

I used to believe there were little people inside the radio making the music or talking. I figured there had to me more to it when I ran into 2 radios set on the smae station.
