Sting is top of the misheard pop charts

Sting and The Police have come top of the charts again, for writing the most misheard pop lyrics of all time.

Message in a Bottle, the band’s 1979 hit has the line: “A year has passed since I wrote my note”, but fans regularly mishear it as “A year has passed since I broke my nose.”

The lyrics from his 1980 song “When The World Is Running Down” came top of the list.

“You make the best of what’s still around” is a line regularly misheard as “You make the best homemade stew around.”

The 56-year-old front man beat pop legends the Beatles, Bee Gees, Queen and David Bowie in an online poll of 2,000 music fans by specialist hearing aid retailer Amlifon.

The Beatles also appear twice in the top ten.
