Singer doesn't understand why the pop songstress covered track

Rock icon Joan Jett has admitted she has never heard Britney Spears' cover of her track 'I Love Rock 'N' Roll'.

The 70's rocker also said she doubts Spears even likes rock 'n' roll music.

Speaking to Thelipster.com, Jett said of the cover, originally a hit in 1982: "I've never even heard Britney's version. I mean, I've obviously heard about it, but I never understood that whole idea."

She added: "I mean, people usually cover a song that says something about them, but I doubt she loves rock 'n' roll. Maybe she likes songs."
