Everyone’s a singer somewhere. For some of us, it’s in the shower or while we’re driving. For others of us, we indulge our inner rock star while we’re cooking, doing chores, or getting ready. The bravest among us might even delight in a bit of karaoke from time to time. With the sheer amount of music out there, it’s safe to say none of us know all the lyrics to every song. But, what about the tunes we love the most?
Sometimes, even when we think we know every single word, we don’t. In fact, there are quite a few very popular hits out there that many people have been singing just a wee bit inaccurately. Misheard song lyrics are totally a thing, and some songs have had people belting out the wrong lyrics for ages. Check out our list of the most commonly misheard song lyrics and see how many you’ve been heard wrong.

The group pumped out a lot of hits, but “Bad Moon Rising” is the song which features some of the most commonly misheard song lyrics of all time.
Freddie Mercury and crew made some incredible music. Mercury himself was always a force to be reckoned with, and ever the consummate performer.

But, this amazing rock anthem also contains some of the most commonly misheard song lyrics ever. Freddie def wasn’t into animal cruelty.

For awhile this year, there was seemingly no escaping this hit. The collaboration between rapper Lil Nas X and country singer Billy Ray Cyrus was as contagious as the common cold.
