Ever listen to a song that you regularly sing along to and have an epiphany about the meaning?

Enter Mojo Nixon's "Drunk Divorced Floozie." I tried to find the lyrics to post here, but the gist is there's a hoochie who chronically neglects her kids and gets wasted with her lover one night. They die in a horrible car crash.

While I was making a skirt the other day, I was singing along, like I have been for the last almost 5 years, and I realized that the song is about Princess Diana.

I don't care that it's making fun of a revered dead person. I'm not British, so why should I?

I was just disappointed that I didn't get the joke earlier.
