pop stars

Because of that Simpsons episode, I thought Weird Al Yankovic was the original performer of the song "Jack and Diane."

When I was younger my Granma & Grandad lived round the corner from Elton Road. My Grandad once told me it was called this because Elton John lived there. I believed him for years and years. I would tell my friends that Elton John lived round the corner from my Grandad! It was only a few months ago (i'm now 22) that I found out he was winding me up. I was so sad that my claim to fame wasn't true.

I recently very disturbed to learn that Al Jolson was in fact Caucasian.

when I was 7, I had a book about Hanson and I thought Taylor was a girl and could never figure out why the book kept saying "he". When I finally realized they were guys I actually thought he was kinda cute. lol
boy am i dumb!

Lysette

I used to think that prima donna was actually pre-madonna, and that it was used to describe how madonna was before she became famous.

I used to think there was a special high school just for celebrities to go to, so they could get an education without being surrounded by non-celebrities that would fawn over them all day. It wasn't until I was about eleven that I learned that most celebrities are either out of school or home schooled.

When I was a kid, I thought the musical Mamma Mia did songs from the A*Teens (the teenage version of Abba)

When I learned that Rick Allen, the drummer from Def Leppard, had only one arm I can remember thinking, "Well, at least he plays drums and not something like the guitar where you need two hands!" As a small kid growing up, I only really heard the snare drum and cymbals in music and I was convinced that you only needed one arm to play drums properly!

When I was young, I ALWAYS mixed up George Micheal and Freddy Mercury for some reason. Imagine the confusion when Freddy died and George did a tribute...

Max the Metalhead

I knew that crazy glue was pretty strong. So as my obsession with Stevie Wonder grew as I child, I vowed that when I was old enough, I would shave my head and glue a beaded braid wig on.

Connie G.

I used to believe that John Lennon had been poisoned. I knew that he'd been murdered, but I thought someone had injected him with something. I was only 2 or 3 when he died, and I finally realized that I must have heard news reports that he'd been "shot." I guess as a small child, the word "shot" suggested a needle rather than a gun.

Jaime

My friend used to think one guy in the Hansons was a girl and he had a huge crush on him and then his mom told him that sometimes guys just have really long hair. XD

I cant remember my name

In the early 1970s, a teenaged babysitter brought an album by "The Guess Who" over to the house. I was old enough to read, and upon studying the name on the album cover, demanded to know what group this was. She answered, "Guess Who", to which I replied, "I can't guess! Tell me!"

It took her quite awhile to get me to understand that this was a name of a group...and for years afterward, I always mixed them up with The Who.

Angie

I used to think that Michael Buble's last name rhymed with the word "Bugle"....until one day my mom confirmed that it is indeed pronounced "boo-blay", not "bewble" lol!!!

Ever since the first time I heard the song “Fast car” By Tracy Chapman, I thought that it was sung by a teenage boy. years later I was shocked to find out Tracy Chapman was actually a woman

Hoopityhoop

A few years ago I used to think No Doubt (Gwen Stefani) was a hip-hop band because the song "No Diggity, No Doubt" by blackstreet boys was hip-hop and I got confused with the words No Doubt thinking only "gangstas" and "thugs" used that phrase.

When I was little, I thought the Beatles really were bugs.

Before I had ever heard Andrea Bocelli sing, I thought it was a woman. After I found out it was actually an italian singer I liked his music and bought his cd. When my little brother asked who he was I told him he was a singer and that he was blind, my brother, inocent as he was asked "How does he know what to sing if he can't read the lyrics"

Duh

when i saw the movie the labyrinth i thought david bowie was a girl. even with his predominant package (i admit i was confused) i still thought he was a she.

deaf sam

when Iwas Younger I was convinced that micheal Jackson was a woman. I couldv'e sworn I saw him in a blue dress on TV. Finally years later I saw the same picture and it was actually diane Sawyer
