A survey carried out by hearing aid firm Amplifon has come up with a list of the top ten most hilariously misheard pop lyrics, with Sting topping the chart with the song 'When the World is Running Down'.
Listeners often mishear the lyrics of the song by Sting's old band The Police as "You make the best homemade stew around", instead of the original "You make the best of what's still around".
Following him were Barry Gibb and the Bee Gees, whose song 'Stayin' Alive' had its lyrics twisted into, "It's alright. It's okay. You make love the other way" from "It's alright. It's okay. You may look the other way".
Sir Paul McCartney's band 'The Beatles' were next with their 'Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds', the lyrics having been changed from "The girl with the kaleidoscope eyes" to "The girl with the colitis goes by".
The third slot was taken by Bono's U2 song 'Mysterious Ways', whose lyrics were turned into "Shamu the mysterious whale" from "She moves in mysterious ways."
The Beatles had the lyrics of their song 'Michelle' turned from "Michelle, ma belle, sont les mots qui vont tres bien ensemble, tres bien ensemble" to "Michelle ma belle, some say monkeys play piano well, play piano well."
Another song to fall victim was Freddie Mercury and Queen's 'Bohemian Rhapsody', which had "Scaramouche, Scaramouche, will you do the Fandango" changed to "Scallaboosh, Scallaboosh, will you do the banned tango."
In seventh place came The Police's song 'Message In A Bottle' whose lyrics were changed from "A year has passed since I wrote my note" to "A year has passed since I broke my nose."
David Bowie had his song 'Changes', changed from "Strange fascination fascinating me" to "Strange vaccinations are killing me."
Taking the ninth place was Liam Gallagher's Oasis song 'Wonderwall', which had its lyrics turned from "You're gonna be the one that saves me" to "You're gonna be the one at Sainsbury's."
In the 10th place was English singer Kate Bush, whose 1978 hit was heard as, "Heathcliff, it's me, I'm a tree, I'm a wombat", when the actual lyrics were, "Heathcliff, it's me, I'm Cathy I've come home".

Bounce Keep it movin... Bounce Keep it movin... Bounce Once again nothin' jumpin' up in yo place,Sick of your berry buzzin' all in my face,Way too much to tolerate,Time to roll,Y'all know I gots to migrate.Speed dial connecting me to Rae-Rae (Hey) Click in Shawntae and Mae-Mae (Hey) Treat it as a holiday,Cause he's a wrap,Y'all know I had to migrate.See I'm on my way home,Cause my jeans, yeah they fit,But it might benefitMe to throw something on,To feature my hips,Accentuate my ****And steal the show.Soon as we walk through the door,Fellas be grabbin' at us like yo,Tryin' to get us going off the Patron,We sippin' Grigio... slow.If your neck and your wrist coordinate,Hair braided or faded okay,We can move this back to my place,It's time to migrate.From my car into the club we migrate,From the bar to V.I.P. we migrate,From the party to the after party, migrate, After party to hotel, migrate.As we proceed getting buzzed,The envious ones,Hatin' but they can't take they eyes off us,But we don't see none of that,They playin' my jam,And the floor is packed,So ya'll need to migrate up out the door. We clickin' glasses,Compliments of the club,Raise they status,So you know they show us love,Everywhere we go,They gon' flock, Them boys migrate to where it's hot.(It's hot, it's hot) Soon as we walk through the door,Fellas be grabbin' at us like yo,Tryin' to get us going off the Patron,We sippin' Grigio... slow.If you're inked up, thuggin'That's what I like,Face body and Lamborghini outside,Obviously boy you're qualified,Otherwise, migrate.From my car into the club we migrate,From the bar to V.I.P. we migrate,From the party to the after party, migrate, After party to hotel, migrate. T-Pain RapThis is where it beginsAnd ends at the very same time,T-Pain the main man of the hour,Got a flow that'll flex yo tire,Got stacks plus I'm back with Mariah.(Mariah laughs)[___________]But I gotta migrate to bar,From the bar to the flo',From the flo' to the car,From the car to the crib,Then back to the club,We can migrate it all night,And mini coupe sittin on dubs.Whatcha waitin' on,I can't stand in one place,I need that Patron and I,Hate when I don't get it my way,So don't wait for me to buy drinks,Or you gon' dehydrate,It's time to migrate.Soon as I'm walkin' through the door,They know I'm from the 8-5-0,I need three bottles of that Patron,I can make the Chevrolet grease up slow,If your ... and your ... coordinate,Tell it to me like it ain't OK,We can move this back to my place,Shawty best believe, it's time to migrate.Soon as we walk through the door,Fellas be grabbin' at us like yo,Tryin' to get us going off the Patron,We sippin' Grigio... slow.If you're inked up, thuggin'That's what I like,Face body and Lamborghini outside,Obviously boy you're qualified,Otherwise, Migrate.(Bye)Keep it movin...
