That "Diamond on the juice box" song and other misheard lyrics
That's how my 3 yr-old asked to hear Joan Jett's "I Love Rock & Roll" yesterday. Took my a few minutes to figure it out, and then I couldn't stop laughing for about 5 minutes.

Any of you have any crazy misunderstood lyrics?

1. "Undercover Angel"
They played it a while back on a '70s weekend on a local station. The Princess and I were singing along with the truck radio. It was then that I learned from her that the chourus goes "Undercover angel, midnight fantasy" - not "Undercover angel, midnight Tenessee", which is how I remembered the lyrics.....

8. Billy Jean is not my lover
She's just a girl
Who claims that I am the one
But the chair is not my son

Letterman did a skit on this in his first season on Late Night that was absolutely hysterical
