Was the son of a preacher man |
Story about this misheard lyric by: Ralph Brew I was very little. I had heard the word creature. Had no idea what a preacher was. Even going to a church wedding at age 5 or 6, I saw the priest and excitedly said out loud that he was a magician. But I did not think about it further until I was in my thirties, I was singing along once and realised the word that came so easily to my mind must be wrong. So I asked around. And got laughed at. |

"Wishin' And Hopin'"
The Funny Lyrics: Wear your hair just for him.
Why They're Funny: So if it weren't for "him", would hair be a nuisance one would be better off without? Maybe that explains why, decades later, Britney Spears once cut off all her hair. Maybe at the time she had no "him" to wear it just for!

"Wishin' and Hopin'"
The Dirty Lyrics: All you gotta do is hold him and kiss him and squeeze him and love him Yeah, just do it And after you do, you will be his
Why They're Dirty: The song generally sounds like any pre-feminism early 60's song. "Just do it" is downplayed on the record, as if it's got a meaning. It does, and everyone know what it is.
