Things you thought were, but aren't

[Corabar Steve]

Not sure how else to phrase it, maybe the best way is by example.

I was a fair wat through my childhood before I realised the words of the song weren't "Maybe it's big horse I'm a Londoner"

Anyone else have similar tales?

[Corabar Entertainment]

Are we just talking music / lyrics, or anything at all?

[DeckstarDeluxe]

Prefab Sprout :) I'm sure you know what I thought the words were ;)

[Corabar Steve]

Anything, although song lyrics do lend themselves to mis-interpretation

[Javlingames]

Whiney Houston - Didint we almost have it off (should be have it all)

I'd have to own up to one of Shania's songs -That don't impress me much.

Edit: Either Gavin's got the same model of laptop, or he's making a joke. Whiney Houston? :confused: :confused: :D :D

Not me personally but Sister always used to think the Corrs Song went:

"Go on, go on leave me Bradley" :eek: :D :D :D

[Mark Wild]

The Real Thing - Can You Feel The Force, my dad always used to sing ' Can you feed the horse ' to us, so it stuck.

How deep is your love...

"And you come to me on a submarine"..

[Excalibur]

I've just been reminded of another one. I don't think many folk will get it, unless you've seen the Grumbleweeds.

Boney M- Brown girl in the ring. The line is " Show me emotion ".

[Digital Jack]

'Calling Cheryl Baker up' from that REM song...

And...........

In 'I Am What I Am' there's a line that goes 'And so what if I love each sparkle and each bangle' , for years I thought it went ' And so what if I love beach ball ball band bidge bangle'.

[cosmicdiscos]

and the old favourite from Abba...

"i was sick & tired of being thin...when i called you last night from Tesco"

Super Trouper....have a listen.

Once got asked for "Inspector Bill"?????? I panicked and quickly flicked through my huge up to date record collection at the time......
When the young lady came back asking i hadnt played her record yet, she also retorted......"Its Number 1".
At that time Mel and Kim topped the charts with "Respectable"........Idiot!!!!

I used to believe in father christmas, then someone told me he didn't exist so I stopped believing in him,

[cosmicdiscos]

here's something funny that cracked me up, my best mate whose 26 like me, told me when he was drunk, that for years he thought the thick bit on a toffee apple was a slice of tomato!!!!

i never let him forget that....

[Shaun]

You know those drinks cups you get from McDonalds, and the little bit on the plastic lid they press to show if the drink is diet or not? As teens, the Wife had her friend convinced that if you ordered a coke, and pressed the little plastic bit on the lid, it would turn the soft drink into a diet drink.

Crazy the stuff some people will believe. :daft:

[andyw]

When I was a kid I used to think the trains on the Forth Rail Bridge went up and down the arches (instead of through the middle).

When I was younger, I assumed that one of the persons in a position of authority on this forum was a dour, staid, serious, quiet Scot.


I met Shaun at BPM, and boy was I wrong!!|:eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:

C'mon! You've met me, and know full well that us Scots come in various shades of blue. We need a fortnight in Tenerife just to reach a shade of grey with a sepia undertone.

I have no recollection of this, but have been reliably informed that when I was a youngster I threw a bit of a tantrum because I wasn't allowed to stay up past my bedtime to watch my favourite programme - On The Buses. Eventually, after kicking up such a fuss, I was allowed to sit on the sofa in my pyjamas and wait for it to start. Apparently I watched 5 minutes of Omnibus before getting up and going straight to bed without a word!
