I wanna get lost in your rock 'n' roll and drift away

If I don't know the words, I just mumble incoherently.

This is kind of lame, but it just happened so its fresh on my mind.

My g/f and I were driving and "You're So Vain" came on and I sang this
Well, you're where you should be all the time
And when you're not, you're with
Some underworld spy or the wife of a postman
Wife of a postman, and
You're so vain ... etc.

She was like, "it's 'wife of a close friend' you idiot. Why would it be 'postman'??"
Pretty funny at the time.

When I was kid I loved Margaritaville, but was always confused by the "Lost jigger I saw" line. I was well into my teeneage years before realizing it was "Lost shaker of salt" which certainly makes more sense.

Lookin' for my lost jigger I saw...

As a kid, at the top of my lungs, this Johnny Rivers song.....

There's a man who leads a life of danger
To everyone he meets he stays a stranger
With every move he makes another chance he takes
Odds are he won't live to see tomorrow

Secret Asian man, secret Asian man
They've given you a number and taken away your name

My daughter also loved Margaritaville as a child. She's a full-fledged Parrot-head now at the age of 24. Here's her version at the age of 12:

Some people claim that there's a woman to blame,
But it's my own grandpa.

I nearly ran off the road I laughed so hard when I heard her singing along with the radio while I was driving.
