Me to though i thought i was the only one i felt so dumb when i found out i was wrong

I could never understand how they managed to sing perfectly in tune, but very quietly when the song fades at the end. Kept trying it out myself a bunch of times, but when I did it, it just came out as whispers.

I thought all of the bells and announcements were played on the piano by the principal

WAIT THEY DONT!?

JESUS ME TOO. My heart wept when my mum corrected me.

The kid I babysat in my teens had the same belief. I remember the radio playing some John Lennon shortly after he was murdered, and the kid asked how was that possible since John was dead?

I thought the radio was full of tiny people who occasionally burst into song for no apparent reason.

I did too! I thought they were 'standing by', though and would start singing when I put the needle down... :)

GURL SAMMMEEE

In the earliest days of radio, that's exactly what happened.

So did I! and when I found out they didn't, I thought they put a record player (I'm old) on a stage in front of the curtain and played the song

I did, too! Clearly I'm not the only one.

Same

Same

Same here

Same.

i thought it was someone recording a concert on their phone

I never exactly thought about that, but I did wonder how the singers didn't get tired after singing all day and night.
