Most Misheard Song Lyrics

Liked this little article I found recently, on misheard song lyrics, Just after their recent farewell gig at Madison Square Garden’s The Police have hit the top of the charts again, although this time it’s for the most misheard pop lyric. A recent online survey of 2,000 music fans by specialist hearing aid retailer Amlifon found that the lyrics to The Police’s 1980 hit When The World Is Running Down “you make the best of what’s still around” are often misheard as “you make the best homemade stew around.”
