Sometimes you mishear lyrics on the radio.
It's not your fault that the human brain wants to put together sounds into patterns and words and on occasion comes up with the one the singer didn't actually sing.
Twitter user Bright Light Bright Lightâ@brightlightx2âshook a lot of people recently when they pointed out a very common mistake people make about Lady Gaga's hit Just Dance.
\u201cI'm still so upset that Gaga wasn't saying "red wine" at the start of Just Dance. I thought that was so cool.\u201dâ Bright Light Bright Light (@Bright Light Bright Light) 1674952368
The citizens of Twitter didn't take the news with grace.
Reactions poured in.
First, there were those who asked what many immediately thoughtâ"Wait, what? She's not saying 'red wine'?"
\u201c@brightlightx2 Wait she wasn't?! I've always thought she was complaining about red wine spilling on carpet!\u201dâ Bright Light Bright Light (@Bright Light Bright Light) 1674952368
Some asked "but what is she actually saying?"
At the top of the track, many people think she said "red wine," but, alas, they are wrong. Instead, she says "RedOne," as a reference to the song's producer, otherwise known as Nadir Khayat.
\u201c@CharlieBenSaid so sad. Red One - producer\u201dâ Bright Light Bright Light (@Bright Light Bright Light) 1674952368
Here's the official music video so you can judge for yourself:

To which others replied with the proper lyrics.
\u201c@brightlightx2 It's Red One. A record company I think. Idk. I feel like artists had a period where they just did promo at the start of a song, for themselves or others.\u201dâ Bright Light Bright Light (@Bright Light Bright Light) 1674952368
Some just felt a little silly for what they had been singing for years.
\u201c@brightlightx2 Uh oh. I have been singing it as \u201cDrunk\u2026on red wine\u201d all these years \ud83d\ude06\u201dâ Bright Light Bright Light (@Bright Light Bright Light) 1674952368
Others defended their interpretation of hearing "Red Wine" as it does go with the theme of the song.
\u201c@brightlightx2 literally, i even thought that\u2019s why the next line was \u201ci had a little bit too much\u2026\u201d like it makes too much sense for her to not have said that \ud83d\ude2d\u201dâ Bright Light Bright Light (@Bright Light Bright Light) 1674952368
\u201c@brightlightx2 And she starts the song with "I had a little bit too much"!\u201dâ Bright Light Bright Light (@Bright Light Bright Light) 1674952368
\u201c@brightlightx2 Absolutely agree! It was in keeping with the track and everything!\u201dâ Bright Light Bright Light (@Bright Light Bright Light) 1674952368
Someone piped in with an example of a different Lady Gaga lyric they maybe misheard.
\u201c@brightlightx2 But she does say \u201cI don\u2019t wanna be French\u201d in Bad Romance, right?\u201dâ Bright Light Bright Light (@Bright Light Bright Light) 1674952368
Some folks contributed times they misheard lyrics from other artists.
\u201c@brightlightx2 @soberfurious I thought Imagine Dragons sang, \u201cReady to rock Dude! Ready to rock Dude!\u201d even though I knew the song was called, \u201cRadioactive.\u201d\u201dâ Bright Light Bright Light (@Bright Light Bright Light) 1674952368
\u201c@brightlightx2 In Panic! At the Disco\u2019s \u201cI Write Sins Not Tragedies\u201d I always thought the lyric was \u201cPoisoned rationality\u201d which I thought was super interesting but it turned out to be \u201cPOISE AND rationality\u201d which is less interesting to me.\u201dâ Bright Light Bright Light (@Bright Light Bright Light) 1674952368
There's even a word for this type of mishearing of lyrics.
\u201c@brightlightx2 I love everything about this thread, and feel like it is important to mention that when this happens (making sense out of something in a song or poem, but incorrectly?) It is called a "mondegreen", which I love.\u201dâ Bright Light Bright Light (@Bright Light Bright Light) 1674952368
Some people, though, will be continuing with what they think they heard.
\u201c@brightlightx2 I refuse to make this change in my brain! It shall always be \u201cred wine\u201d. \ud83c\udf77\u201dâ Bright Light Bright Light (@Bright Light Bright Light) 1674952368
\u201c@brightlightx2 In my car it will continue to be \u201cred wine\u201d thank you\u201dâ Bright Light Bright Light (@Bright Light Bright Light) 1674952368
Catchy song, no matter what phrase Lady Gaga says at the beginning.
