Misheard Lyrics of 2012: PSY, Rihanna Top Hilarious List

PSY apologizes for anti american song Kevin Winter, Getty Images

With over one billion YouTube hits, PSY's "Gangnam Style" was arguably one of the biggest songs of 2012. But as we gallop-danced along to the video, did we actually know what we were singing?

Buzzfeed did a quick roundup of the most misunderstood lyrics of the year and, according to the results, the world has happily been belting out the wrong words to many Top 40 songs.

The results are pretty hilarious! Case in point: Contrary to popular belief, PSY's smash hit does not contain the phrase "Open condom style."

It turns out the South Korean rapper isn't the only artist guilty of performing confusing lyrics. Breakout band fun.'s "We Are Young" and Rihanna's "We Found Love" are among the songs that got a little lost in translation.

Check out all of the hilarious misheard lyrics in the video below and consider making your resolution for 2013 to do some research before rocking out at karaoke.

I honestly thought when I first saw his Picture I said to myself who is PSY?! Then I heard it was Anti American Lyrics he sang about Then I said to myself how Arrogant for him to do that and Disrespectfull ?!? By first looks I honestly thought he was an Asian Lesbian ( No Insults to Lesbians or Asians were meant by that I have friends on both sides of that fence and they agree with me on this one...) or something like that and That wardrobe ??!! Comon PSY ..you can dress better than that cant you ??Pee Wee Herman called and said he wants his outfits back ..

Uh, Gangnam Style did NOT have any "anti American lyrics." Then again, the guy is from Korea so he's under no obligation to perform lyrics that support America but Americans DO have a Constitution which is supposed to acknowledge that EVERYONE has the right to free speech.

Of course, to the right-wing nut crowd, "free speech" only covers "what I agree with."

(The "anti-American lyrics" you're *cough*thinking*cough* about were in a song from nearly a DECADE ago.)

This teeny bopper (pre teen idol) will soon fade away as those little 8-10 year old girls will all have a B-Day and be real teenagers and be following real entertainers. Beiber is a failed project and his biggest promoter, Ellen, has moved on.
