Deus Ex Machina is another one that didn't know the pronunciation of for a while.

I used to think the Whitesnake lyrics was, "like a twister I was born to walk alone...". I thought they were dumb lyrics. About a year ago I told someone else what I thought and they informed me it was "drifter".

If I would hurt my arm or something my dad would take something like a flyswatter and a sweatshirt and make a splint. I thought it worked.

Blinded by the light... "Wrapped up like a #####"... swore these were the lyrics why is doosh censored??

Revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night.

Held up like a loofa, by the foreman of the night.

Until last Sunday I thought the Aerosmith song dude looks like a lady was "do the funky lady".

It came on at a bar we were having dinner at and one of the people at my table started singing to it. I thought they were being funny because of the whole Catelyn Jenner thing.

Then I googled it.

come on

He hates these cans

My wife thought "dude looks like a lady" was "ooh, looks like we made it" well into her 30s.

Sounds hot.

And you should see her in yoga pants! :thumbsup:

I believed girls didn't fart or poop. The first time I saw a girl's ###hole I thought she had been shot.

When I was a kid I understood the idea of live TV, the stuff the camera points at goes on TV. Simple. I didn't get the idea of TV shows or commercials being recorded and broadcast later. I used to think that people had to act out commercials whenever they were on. I remember being amazed that the dishwashing liquid lady could walk around the kitchen and could say her lines exactly the same way, every single time.

I might have been 7 or 8 when I had the facepalm moment.

I used to think the soap operas my mom watched were actually hidden cameras in real people's houses.

I used to think movies just found actors who wanted to die to play the parts of characters who died.I also thought if I had a bigger tv, then I'd be able to see the showering lady's breasts in shampoo commercials.

I'm with you on the latter. Did you also try to get under the tv screen, angle your head and look up try to see up girls' skirts?

I thought that you weren't supposed to swim for an hour after eating in order to avoid cramps, which were small crab-like creatures that bit your toes if you got in too soon.

I thought Alf was a real alien when I was 6

I remember in junior high telling someone I liked Led Zeppelin, and he replied, "oh yeah, he's pretty good".. I was

Way better than that Def Leppard guy.

I hate it when people think that Jethro Tull was just a member of the band.

I hate it when people discuss or listen to Jethro Tull in my presence. Or even when I am not around.

On misheard lyrics, I thought Toto's hit song was about some sort of traveling meteorologist:

"I test the rains down in Africa."

 

[Copeman]

While we're on song lyrics, my older brother used to think Billy Idol was singing "I'm without a date", instead of "Eyes without a face".

He never did get a date until well after high school.
