When we asked readers about the first songs they remember hearing, imaperv posted the following comment:

Don't Look Back In Anger by Oasis. Apparently I thought the first line of Wonderwall's chorus was "Because maybe, you're going to be the one at Sainsburys" as a toddler and often sang along with gusto.

We posted it to Twitter, and were inundated with tweets from @guardianmusic followers, sharing their lyrical misunderstandings. Here are some highlights.

@Parksie

A friend of mine thinks that Elbow are singing "Build a rocking horse" on Lippy Kids.

‏@ytfcbadger

At the end of Peter Gabriel's Sledgehammer, he sings about "peeing in the river, all day and night". That's some bladder!

@Wroathy3

I had a mate who thought Girls On Film by Duran Duran was "Girls On Pills". He used to sing it aloud in HMV too.

@HarryGarne

My brother didn't realise that the letters sung in 'Respect' spelt the word 'Respect' until he was 31. R-G-S-P-E-P-P.

@thesimonsquare

My friend thought TLC's Waterfall was 'Don't go Jason Wonderful'... I can't help but song his version when it's on now...

@syntheastwood

A friend of mine thought the lyrics to 'Rhythm Is A Dancer' were 'Kevin is a dancer, he's a source of fashion'

@_Slojam

My mate thinks the chorus of the Jam's News of the World is 'These are the Words!' It makes watching Mock the Week awkward..

@townsendyesmate

Used to think that the Kooks were singing 'i know that she knows that im not from the Ruskin'. Still prefer that version tbh.

@MrRichardMoran

For years, I thought the line in Bohemian Rhapsody was "Spare him his life from this pork sausage-y".
