Are you that annoying friend that constantly belts out the wrong lyrics of a song?

Have you ever been caught in a situation where you've misinterpreted the lyrics of a song, but then stuck with it even after learning the correct version?

If this doesn’t sound familiar to you, then you are probably that supremely irritating friend who belts out the wrong lyrics to songs when they play on the car radio or on a night out.

 

Adele, “Chasing Pavements.” Correct lyric: “Should I give up, or should I just keep chasing pavements?” Misheard lyric: “Should I give up, or should I just keep chasing penguins?”

Ariana Grande, “thank u, next.” Correct lyric: “Thank you, next. Thank you, next. Thank you, next. I'm so f***in' grateful for my ex.” Misheard lyric: "Bacon, eggs. Bacon, eggs. Bacon, eggs. I'm so f***in’ grateful for my eggs.”

Bon Jovi, “Livin’ On A Prayer.” Correct lyric: “It doesn’t make a difference if we make it or not.” Misheard lyric: “It doesn’t make a difference if we’re naked or not.”

Elton John, “Tiny Dancer.” Correct lyric: “Hold me closer tiny dancer.” Misheard lyric: “Hold me closer Tony Danza.”

Far East Movement, “Like a G6.” Correct lyric: “Now I'm feelin' so fly like a G6.” Misheard lyric: “Now I'm feelin' so fly like a cheese stick."

Foo Fighters, “The Pretender.” Correct lyric: “What if I say I'm not like the others?” Misheard lyric: “One of these things is not like the others.”

The Gorillaz, “Feel Good Inc.” Correct lyric: “Feel good.” Misheard lyric: “Milk dud.”

Jimi Hendrix, “Purple Haze.” Correct lyric: “Scuse me, while I kiss the sky.” Misheard lyric: “Scuse me, while I kiss this guy.”

Taylor Swift, “Blank Space.” Correct lyric: “Got a long list of ex-lovers, they’ll tell you I’m insane.” Misheard lyric: “Got a lot of Starbucks lovers, they’ll tell you I’m insane.”

Toto, “Africa.” Correct lyric: “There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do.” Misheard lyric: “There’s nothing that a hundred men on mars could ever do.”

But don’t worry, from mixing up romantic sentiments with items of food to mistaking meaningful declarations for sexual innuendos, mishearing song lyrics is just part of what it is to be human.

Of all the lyrics in our round-up, it was songs by Ariana Grande, Elton John, Taylor Swift and Jimi Hendrix that people most often got badly wrong.
