songs

I used to believe that little guys played the music right in your headphones, and the player was their home.

I used to think that the reason people were bad is because they listen to rap music and no other reason. But I listen to a lot of rap now, 4 years later

The first time i heard "I Want Candy" by Aaron Carter, I thought it was sung by a girl, and that she really really wanted some candy!

For a long time I thought the song "Roxanne," where it says "Put on the red light," had something to do with driving, especially because it is by the Police and police cars have red lights on them. Now, I listened closer to the first verse, and I think it's more like the red-light-district kind of red light...

My name is Roxanne, so I've had people singing the song by the police for as long as I can remember. I used to believe this song was written about me; Whilst my cousin, Adam, believed Adam's apples were named after him. We used to argue as to who had the best thing named after them.

Roxanne

When I was younger, my dad used to sing me the song "Norwegian Wood" by the Beatles, so naturally i thought the song was about a father and his daughter after she had grown up. It wasn't until a few weeks ago that I heard the song again that I fully understood the more *ahem* adult theme.

daddy's girl

I wasn't even a small child anymore (around 12-13?) when I used to believe that there was a woman with a very annoying high-pitched comic voice in The Smiths, because of the background singing in 'Bigmouth Strikes Again.'
(I later found out it's actually Morrissey's own altered voice.)

The 2nd verse of "You are my sunshine" is "And so I hung my head and I cried". I thought that the person singing - usually my grandmother - would take her head off and hang it up on a hook.

I used to believe that there were really small people inside records singing the songs and playing the music. My mom however knew better and my butt found out too when she come home one day and many of her LP's were scattered and broken around the livingroom.`

Richard J Brown

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

AJ

I used to believe until I was probably thirteen that the Ace of Base song "Don't Turn Around" was about a witch and her captive slave. I never really understood the lyrics and never bothered looking them up. Every time I heard the song in a store or on the radio, I would cry because the witch I had in my head was scary. I eventually realized what the song meant and I don't cry anymore. In fact, I enjoy the song.

Macky

I used to believe that "I" was the baby babbling in Aaliyah's song "are you that somebody." And I'll try to mimic the song as if I was still a baby... ( I was 3yrs old when it came out) I did this until I was 6...

I believed that when you played a record, the artist had to wake up and sing the song, so you could hear it.

As an infant, I believed talking heads' song 'And She Was' was all about me.

when i was little i used to think that aerosmith song jainies got a gun was jaimies got a gun. i used to freak out since jaimie is my name and tell everyone the song wasn't true. i felt like a moron when i found out it was janie

jaimie

When I was little I though that skinheads were rascist...then I got into the punk scene and realized they're just working class people-hair short, boots for work, clean look-and during the 80's their look was stolen by white pride jerks, so that's why everyone thinks they're nazis.

I used to think when they say ''i walk a lonley road,the only one that i have ever known'' in Greenday's song Blvd of Broken Dreams that he was saying that all his life he lived on some road called Blvd of Broken Dreams in that house thing they pass on the music vidio. and i didn't get when he said ''I walk alone'' and Mike & Tre were walking right next to him

JOEY KRIEGER

That Chopin was actually pronounced "chopping", and that Beethoven was pronounced "beet-hoven"

Brianna

I used to think bands or singers could be sued for plagiarism if they coincidentally had a song that was too similar to one by another artist, but not as a cover!
