Lady Gaga and Ozzy Osbourne's lyrics named hardest to understand

If you’ve ever been caught singing the wrong lyrics to a famous tune, you are not alone.
A new survey has revealed an alarming number of popular song lyrics misunderstood by the British public.

"A number of Brits commonly misunderstood 'Polka Face' for 'Polk Her Face' "

Almost a quarter of people think lyrics to Abba’s Dancing Queen “See that girl, watch that scene, diggin’ the dancing queen” are actually “See that girl, watch her scream, kicking the dancing queen.”

Queen’s “We Will Rock You” was the second most commonly misheard lyric, with 18 per cent of respondents hearing “Kicking your cat all over the place” in place of “Kicking your can all over the place”.

Ozzy Osbourne and Lady Gaga topped the Blinkbox poll of artists with the hardest lyrics to understand.


Many Brits believed the line in Gaga’s “Polka Face” was “Polk Her Face”, while Ozzy’s lyric “Off the rails on a crazy train” was misheard as “Off the rails on a gravy train.”
