Go on, admit it... How many of these did you think were real?
1. Elton John: 'Tiny Dancer'
Actual lyric: "Hold me closer, tiny dancer." So it's not an ode to 'Taxi' actor Tony Danza, whose career took off seven years after 'Tiny Dancer' was released.
2. Elvis Presley: 'Suspicious Minds'
Actual lyric: "we're caught in a trap". Trouts do not currently posses the ability to receive telephone calls.
3. Chic: 'Le Freak'
Actual lyric: "aww freak out! Le freak, c'est Chic". And who are we to argue? What Nile Rodgers says goes!
4. Bon Jovi: 'Living On A Prayer'
Actual lyric: "it doesn't make a difference if we make it or not." Random nudity would probably have undermined the powerful imagery in Bon Jovi's classic hit.
5. Rita Ora: 'Hot Right Now'
Actual lyric: "I know you're only in it 'cos it's hot right now." Rita's singing about people who jump on the metaphorical bandwagon, and not excellent deals at supermarkets. On the next album, maybe?
6. Whitney Houston: 'How Will I Know'
Actual lyric: "I'm asking you what you know about these things." Ah. That makes sense...
7. Kelly Clarkson: 'Since You Been Gone'
Actual lyric: "Since you been gone, I can breathe for the first time." Kelly's impassioned delivery is because she has escaped a relationship that wasn't working - not because she's excited about dinner.
8. Adele: 'Chasing Pavements'
Actual lyric: "Or should I just keep chasing pavements." Definitely do not keep chasing penguins.
9. Michael Jackson: 'Man In The Mirror'
Actual lyric: "No message could have been any clearer." You'd be forgiven for thinking MJ is singing about moustaches, considering he's looking in a mirror. But no!
10. The Rolling Stones: 'Beast Of Burden'
Actual lyric: "I'll never be your beast of burden." It is as yet unclear whether Sir Mick Jagger would leave your pizza burning, then.
11. Rihanna: 'We Found Love'
Actual lyric: "we found love in a hopeless place." We can't imagine there would be much soap in a hopeless place, either.
12. Eurythmics: 'Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This)'
Actual lyric: "Sweet dreams are made of this, who had a mind to disagree?" At the very least, this misheard lyric is factually correct: cheese does make us dream! A 2005 study by the British Cheese Board found that cheese unlocks our imagination while we sleep.
13. K.D. Lang: 'Constant Craving'
Actual lyric: "constant craving." Kathryn Dawn Lang may or may not be craving gravy.
14. Eiffel 65: 'I'm Blue'
Actual lyric: "I'm blue, da be dee da ba di." It was a super catchy track - even if the real lyrics don't make much more sense than the misheard ones!
15. Toni Braxton: 'Unbreak My Heart'
Actual lyric: "say that you love me again." We can't stop giggling at the idea that Toni was lamenting the fact she only had two ingredients in her kitchen when she belted it out.
16. Queen: 'Bohemian Rhapsody'
Actual lyric: "spare him his life from this monstrosity." Warm sausage teas aren't exactly life-threatening...!
17. The Beatles: 'I Wanna Hold Your Hand'
Actual lyric: "I wanna hold your hand." Just to confuse matters, John Lennon used to sing the misheard version at the height of Beatlemania!
18. Macy Gray: 'I Try'
Actual lyrics: "my walk crumbles when you are not here." This wins the gold medal for the most surreal misheard lyric.
19. TLC: 'Waterfalls'
Actual lyric: "don't go chasing waterfalls." We know he's only a misheard lyric, but we'd love to meet this Jason Waterfalls! What's your funniest misheard lyric? Write it in the comments below!
