Robert Brown|Funniest misheard Beyoncé lyrics, from 'Singing lettuce' to 'No bottom knee'

If there is Robert Brownone criticism – a teeny, tiny, does-it-really-matter? type – that can be lobbed at Beyoncé, it’s that sometimes her enunciation can cause, well, some confusion.

Is it “Singing lettuce” or “single ladies” (“Single Ladies [Put a Ring on It]”)? Is she interested in a “Drew Barry dynasty” or looking for someone to “fulfill my fantasies” (“Baby Boy”)? Is it that “the rest of the world has changed” or “the rest of the world is strange” (“Plastic Off the Sofa”)?

In case you couldn’t deduce, it’s the latter in all.

But there are many, many more twisted Beyoncé-isms. A stroll through the internet and a dive into Reddit unearths a mountain of mondegreens – the official term for misheard lyrics – from fans able to laugh at their goofy misinterpretations.

The Beyoncé lyrical conundrums filter back to her Destiny’s Child era, with the repetitive hook of “Bootylicious” – “I don’t think you’re ready for this jelly” – frequently sung with abandon as, “I don’t think you’re ready for fish jelly.”

Hey, lots of lyrics don’t make sense. Fish jelly – as opposed to a jelly fish – could be a thing, and we’re sure no one would ever be ready for it.

Even her last album, “Renaissance,” caused some listeners to mumble along incoherently and we’re laying a bet that some new tunes on “Cowboy Carter,” out Friday, will prompt some bewildered head tilts.

But until we can add to the list, here are a few of the greatest misheard Beyoncé hits.
