Remember the song "Dirty Deeds"? I used to sing it "Dirty Deeds and the Thunder Chief". When the song came on the radio last year, I asked my husband what on earth they were saying because by then I figured out that maybe "Thunder Chief" didn't make much sense. I still sing it wrong.
Another one: "Hey little thing let me light your candle 'cause momma I'm sure I'm Don Henley now".
