What did you hear or understand as a kid that turned out to be wrong, maybe incredibly wrong?

For a long time (from age 4 to 5 or 6), I thought I was eating at Waterburger. I felt incredibly stupid when I realized my mistake.


Many of my friends in middle/high school sang the wrong lyrics to VH's "Jump."

"Maxwell, jump!" Idiots....

Prince's "Little Red Corvette" sounds like "Pay the rent, Collette"

BTO's "Taking Care of Business" sounds like " Baking carrot biscuits"

I had no idea what a virgin was when I was little. Madonna’s Like a Virgin played on MTV all the time. I was 7 and My older sister like 15 at the time pissed me off and I said “ well at least I am not a virgin like you!”

Jimi Hendrix ‘scuse me, while I kill this fly’

Beatles- ‘she’s got a chicken to ride’

And the all-time….

I’m pretty sure there isn’t a human alive who’s ever figured out the lyrics to Blinded by the Light by Manfred Mann's Earth Band without having to Google the lyrics.

Damn, just discovered I'm an idiot.


But a benefit is not caring about van Halen lyrics.

My grandfather used to say "You have to root hog or die poor". I thought he said bush hog or die poor.

Also…

Steve Miller Band ‘big old Jed Had a Light On’

AC/DC ‘’Dirty D and the Thunderchief’

I always wondered who Dirty D was. And maybe the Thunderchief was like his Tonto?

My best friends little brother thought thought Freddie Mercury was singing "Another one bite the Doctor" instead of Another one bite the Dust.
