Everyone's misheard a song lyric before - but not always in a hilarious way.
Millions of Brits are mishearing some of the world's best known song lyrics and replacing them with baffling alternatives, according to new research.
Three quarters of those polled admitted to singing along to the wrong words of popular tunes, including Abba's Dancing Queen and Dire Straits' Money For Nothing.
Wannabe singers often mishear the lyrics to Taylor Swift's Blank Space, believing she is singing 'All the lonely Starbucks lovers' - and not 'Got a long list of ex-lovers'.
Selena Gomez's hit, Good For You causes confusion with people singing 'I'm farting carrots' instead of the correct 'I'm 14 carat'.
While Adele's 2008 hit Chasing Pavements is wrongly sung as Chasing Penguins.
The survey of 2000 UK adults, commissioned by Starkey Hearing Technologies, looked at the most commonly misheard lyrics to mark the launch of its new Muse hearing aids.
A spokesman for Starkey said: 'We've all misheard song lyrics from time to time so it's really interesting and quite funny to see what the most common ones are.
'The results brought up some real classics but it's great to see newer hits featuring in the top 40 too.
'People might even argue that some of the misheard lyrics in the results are actually better than the originals.'
A quarter of UK adults have argued over misheard lyrics while around two thirds have checked the internet to find out what the actual lyrics are.
Also featuring in the Top 40 is 'Call me when you try to wake her' from REM's 1993 hit The Sidewinder Sleeps Tonite is commonly mixed up with the lyric, 'Calling Jamaica'.
From Johnny Nash's 'I can see clearly now' is 'I can see clearly now Lorraine is gone' which when sang correctly is 'I can see clearly now the rain has gone'.
Chaka Kahn's I'm Every Woman has been misheard as 'I'm Terry Wogan'
While 'Poppadum peach' from Madonna's Papa Don't Preach and 'We're caught in a trout' from Elvis Presley's Suspicious Minds also feature.
Hot Chocolate's Sexy Thing is commonly mistaken - with 'I believe in miracles' misheard as 'I remove umbilicals'.
And the chorus from Kings of Leon's Sex on Fire has been wrongly heard as 'dyslexics on fire'.
Pop-loving Brits can't enough of singing - with 85 per cent of UK adults regularly crooning along to their favourite songs.
Seven in 10 people surveyed sing in the car while four in 10 like to belt out a number or two while tidying the house.
A quarter of respondents like to work on their vocals in the shower or bath and 40 per cent said they enjoy a sing-along when cooking.
Other places people polled like to sing include when shopping, when exercising, when gardening - and when on the loo.
Despite this half of us find it annoying when people sing along to songs in front of them.
More than half of respondents admit that they are awful singers - just four per cent described themselves as great singers.
And seven in 10 of those surveyed have been caught belting out a number when they mistakenly thought no one was looking.
A spokesman for Starkey added: "Although mishearing things can be quite funny, it can also be a common sign of hearing loss.
"Those who think they might not be hearing as well as they should are encouraged to have it checked.
"Hearing well is vital to our health and wellbeing and today's technology is so sophisticated and discreet that there's really no need to mishear your favourite songs."
