1.Like a G-6 by Far East Movement

As the title of the track says, it's "like a G6" not "like a cheese stick" as all your friends have been singing.

2. Tiny Dancer by Elton John

No, it's not "hold me closer Tony Danza", although I'm sure Tony Danza would be honored. It's "hold me closer, tiny dancer."

3. Sweet Escape by Gwen Stefani

Okay so we've honestly just never attempted to know what these lyrics are, but they're actually, "cause I’ve been acting like sour milk all on the floor / It’s your fault you didn’t shut the refrigerator / Maybe that’s the reason I’ve been acting so cold”

4. I'm a Believer by The Monkees

It doesn't go "then I saw her face / now I'm gonna leave her" as you may have been horrified to hear, it actually goes, "then I saw her face / now I'm a believer." Much better!

5. Chasing Pavements by Adele

I know you knew this was wrong, but don't lie and say you haven't been singing "chasing penguins" instead of "chasing pavements." We've all done it.

6. Livin' on a Prayer by Bon Jovi

No, you Bon Jovi lover, it's not ‘It doesn’t make a difference if we’re naked or not’.
it's ‘It doesn’t make a difference if we make it or not’.

7. Good for You by Selena Gomez

People have hilariously been singing, "I'm farting carrots" when Selena sings, "I'm 14 carat." Slightly different implications.

8. Shake it Off by Taylor Swift

Okay let's be real, we all heard "and the bakers gonna bake, bake, bake, bake" when she is really singing "and the fakers gonna fake, fake, fake, fake, fake." Right?!

9. Clarity by Zedd

Whoops, we've been saying "you are the piece of meat" when we should be singing "you are the piece of me." Sorry Zedd!

10. Ex's and Oh's by Elle King

The lyrics do not go "ex's and the oh, oh, oh's they hunt me" but rather "ex's and the oh, oh, oh's they HAUNT me." Spoooooky.

11. Thinking Out Loud by Ed Sheeran

Okay this is a silly one, but we've actually heard people sing, "take me into your lemon arms" when it actually goes, "take me into your loving arms."

12. Blank Space by Taylor Swift

Maybe the most common misheard lyric of late, it's NOT "got a list of Starbucks lovers / They’ll tell you I’m insane”, it is "got a long list of ex-lovers / They’ll tell you I’m insane”.
