Inspired by [this](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=7904868&postcount=167) post in the Controversial beliefs thread in the pit {a pretty good read BTW} I thought we might try a new song related game Songs in which lyrics talk about some belief or another. Lets imagine we’re coming up with some statement of belief for a new new religion, or a new anti religion, whatever. Lets compile some possible beliefs from song lyrics. If you want to change the lyric for humerous effect please give the original as well as the change. If you want to include a humerous response to said lyric have at it. so, Do you believe in Love? Do you Believe in Magic? I believe for every drop of rain that falls a flower grows {Now somebody help me with my freakin yard} Dopers, have at it. ---

For sinners who believe in reincarnation: Stevie Wonder’s “I believe when I fall in love this time, it will be forever” nicely becomes “I believe when I go to hell this time, it will be forever.” ---

DISCLAIMER: I quoted the song lyric as a quip, not a reflection of my own ‘controversial’ beliefs. I do not necessarily believe that the children are our future or that we should let them lead the way. 😛 Funnily enough, I was thinking of Kylie Minogue’s _I Believe In You_ with regard to this thread as I skipped through my random music playlist. I landed on a Kylie song, but the strange thing is that all of her songs are incorrectly titled and I’ve been too lazy to fix them. I thought to myself, wouldn’t this be weird if it were infact _I Believe In You_? And then of course _I Believe In You_ starts emanating from my speakers… [insert ghost ‘ooo’ sounds here] ---
