What we think we hear and what we do hear are two different things, and these are the most misheard lyrics ever by a New Jersey artist.

There are so many songs we've heard over the years that we think we know the lyrics to, but when we belt them out in the car or shower, we often are singing a completely different tune, literally.

The Most Misheard Lyrics In Music

Misheard lyrics can be very funny and they can also be a little embarrassing, when Stacker listed some of the most misheard lyrics in history, a song from a legendary New Jersey rocker was on the list.

If you've been in our car cranking up Livin' On A Prayer by  Bon Jovi and singing the line, "It doesn't make a difference if we're naked or not", then you are the victim of a misheard lyric.

The actual line from the song goes like this,

It doesn't make a difference if we make it or not

Don't you feel a little embarrassed about that dirty mind of yours? No worries, you are not alone when it comes to misheard lyrics.

The Best Misheard Lyric Ever

Our favorite misheard lyric on the list comes from the song Africa by Toto. The correct line is " There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do", but what the guy in the car next to you might be singing while drumming on the steering wheel is,

There's nothing that a hundred men on Mars could ever do

Here's what I think. It doesn't matter what lyrics you sing, as long as you're singing. Crank it up and enjoy.
