We're fact checking our songs tonight. Those artists who have not quite got it right. From not knowing algebra from addition, or the points on a compass and when animals sleep!

Calling all pedants to the show tonight! We are looking for the songs that have simply got their facts wrong. When Bono blasts out uno, dos, tres, catorce, was he aware he'd sung 14 not 4? Adele claimed her love was millions of miles away. By our calculations that's somewhere in space. And Beyonce announced she didn't know much about algebra when she was actually singing about basic addition. Who else should we fact check?
