It’s the most wonderful time of the year: We’re finally learning how badly we botched the song lyrics we belted out at karaoke.

In what has become an annual tradition, YouTube user pleated-jeans put together the biggest songs of the year and pointed out the differences between what we heard and what was actually said. No matter how often we listened to the songs, the variations were just small enough that our ears were easily tricked while reading the misheard lyric. “Like a burp on the night?” Of course Sia sang that!

While we can’t let go of the actual lyrics to make “Let It Go” work, it helps if you actually know some of the songs to get the joke, which might say a lot about how little I listen to the radio.

Oh well. Bakers gonna bake bake bake bake bake.
