A new poll conducted by Blinkbox Music has claimed that the most commonly misheard lyric of all time comes from ABBA's 'Dancing Queen'.
According to the poll, which surveyed 2,000 participants, 22% of people believe the line, "See that girl, watch that scene, diggin' the dancing queen" to be the slightly more violent: "See that girl, watch her scream, kicking the dancing queen."
No.2 in the list was Queen's 'We Will Rock You', with 18% believing the line was, "Kicking your cat all over the place", and Bon Jovi's 'Living On A Prayer' was at No.3, with many hearing, "It doesn't make a difference if we're naked or not."
