The song topped the online poll of 2,000 music fans with its line "a year has passed since I wrote my note" being commonly misheard as "a year has passed since I broke my nose," The Daily Mail reported Thursday.

Sting also took seventh place on the list with a line from his 1980 song "When the World is Running Down" -- respondents said they commonly misheard "you make the best of what's still around" as "you make the best homemade stew around."

The Bee Gees' "Stayin' Alive" came in second on the list with "it's OK, you may look the other way" being heard as "it's OK, you make love the other way."

The Beatles also made it into the top 10 with their song "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds." "The girl with kaleidoscope eyes" in the song is sometimes mistaken for "the girl with colitis goes by," the poll found.

The informal online poll was conducted by hearing aid retailer Amplifon, the Daily Mail said.
