Claudia has finally given in and started tweeting. She's got mixed feelings about it, but It's kinda part of the job of a DJ. We're wondering whether you're into the Twitterverse?

There are entire websites devoted to lyrics we misunderstood, but let's face it, there are also entire songs we don't get. What are they about? The worst (or best) are the ones we sing along with - having no idea what we're singing about. We're not afraid to admit. What about you? Any songs you sing that you simply don't get? Share 'em in today's FUV Question of the Day.
