    Rick Astley's smash hit, \u201cNever Gonna Give You Up\u201d, has topped a list of songs \u2013 with the most commonly misheard lyrics, a study has found.<\/p>\n

    The singer's debut track, which became the best-selling single of 1987, featured alongside other classic hits such as Abba's \u201cDancing Queen\u201d, and \u201cSweet Dreams\u201d by Eurythmics, on the list of songs with lyrics that listeners frequently sing incorrectly.<\/p>\n

    Some of the top misheard lyrics from Astley's number one song include \u201cdessert spoons\u201d, rather than \u201cdesert you\u201d \u2013 and even \u201cyour aunt\u2019s been naked\u201d, in place of \u201cyour heart's been aching\u201d.<\/p>\n

    Fans have also been left baffled after thinking the 57-year-old was singing about \u201cnits\u201d and \u201cbroken mittens\u201d at other points in the track.<\/p>\n

    But now, the singer has teamed up with Specsavers to revive his 36-year-old song \u2013 but this time, recording it with all its commonly misheard lyrics, in place of the original ones. <\/p>\n

    It comes as a survey of 2,000 adults, commissioned by the high-street audio and optometry brand, found that one in six blame hearing difficulties for their mishearing of song lyrics.<\/p>\n

    And with Rick Astley sharing that he is now living with some hearing loss himself, the hitmaker was only too keen to highlight how hearing loss can often be ignored, and to encourage people to take action if they notice any changes.<\/p>\n

    <\/p>\n

    He said: \u201cI had great fun re-recording the song, and discovering the amusing ways people have misheard my lyrics. It felt weird singing different lyrics, but I\u2019m pleased to be raising awareness of hearing loss, as there is still a stigma around this.<\/p>\n

    \u201cI\u2019ve noticed my hearing changing over time, so I recently had a hearing test at Specsavers. It showed I have some hearing loss \u2013 probably a result of playing the drums as a kid and working in the music industry \u2013 so I\u2019ve now got my first hearing aids.<\/p>\n

    \u201cIt\u2019s important to remember that everyone\u2019s hearing is different \u2013 some people lose high notes, others lose low frequency sounds. I\u2019d encourage anyone to get their hearing tested if they notice any changes, so they don\u2019t lose the sounds or music they love.\u201d<\/p>\n

    The Specsavers research also found that more than half (51%) find conversations with background noise difficult, and 28% can\u2019t hear the TV or radio properly \u2013 both common early signs of hearing loss.<\/p>\n

    One in three have noticed changes in their hearing over the last 10 years, but 57% have taken no action to address these changes \u2013 with 56% admitting they have never had their hearing tested.<\/p>\n

    And staggeringly, other studies have shown people often wait as long as 10 years before addressing changes in their hearing.<\/p>\n
