Misheard: “All the lonely Starbucks lovers”
Correct: “Got a long list of ex-lovers”
Fans of Taylor Swift misheard this line so frequently that on Valentine’s Day in 2015, the singer made fun of her own song.She stated in a since-deleted tweet: “Sending my love to all the lonely Starbucks lovers out there this Valentine’s Day… even though that is not the correct lyric.” To which the coffee chain playfully replied: “Wait, it’s not?”
Misheard: “Saving his life from this warm sausage tea”
Correct: “Spare him his life from this monstrosity”
Anything less than a piping hot cup of tea is an actual nightmare for most Brits, but it turns out that’s not actually what one of their most famous musicians was crooning about. The song’s popularity in the country has endured regardless. The track is among the bestselling U.K. singles of all time, and is often cited as one of the greatest rock songs worldwide.
