Wishin' and Hopin' (people change)

Has it ever happened to you that you discover something about something you used to like that suddenly changes your mind about that thing? Well, this is what happened to me about one particular song: 'Wishin' and Hopin'. This version is the one I knew, from the credits of the movie "My Best Friend's Wedding", but the best known was performed by Dusty Springfield, who was famous for singing "The Son of a Preacher Man". So let's take a look at the lyrics and find out what could possibly make me so angry.

Wishin', and hopin', and thinkin', and prayin',
Planning and dreamin' each night of his charms.
That won't get you into his arms


So if your're looking for love you can share
All you gotta to is hold him, and kiss him, and love him,
And show him that you care.


Show him that you care, just for him.
Do the things that he likes to do.
Wear your hair just for him, 'cause,
You won't get him, thinkin' and a prayin',
Wishin' and hopin'.


'Cause wishin', and hopin', and thinkin', and prayin',
Planning and dreamin' his kisses will start.
That won't get you into his heart!


So if you're thinking how great true love is
All you gotta to is hold him, and kiss him, and squeeze him, and love him.
Yeah, just do it!
And after you do, you will be his.


You gotta show him that you care just for him.
Do the things that he likes to do.
Wear your hair just for him, 'cause,
You won't get him, thinkin' and a prayin',
Wishin' and a hopin'.


'Cause wishin', and hopin', and thinkin', and prayin',
Planning and dreamin' his kisses will start.
That won't get you into his heart!


So if you're thinking how great true love is!


All you gotta to is hold him, and kiss him, and squeeze him, and love him.
Yeah, just do it!
And after you do, you will be his.


You will be his.


You will be his!

Argggg , I don't even know how to begin with! The two first paragraphs are romantic and...well..ok. But then the torture begins. "Do what he wants, wear your hair as he wants" and you'll get into TRUE LOVE. Please, fuckin' kill me! Thanks God the credits of the movie show a parody of the song. How could someone sing that seriously? And the word "squeeze"...is only me or does it sound really namby-pamby? And please, stop repeating on and on that YOU WILL BE HIS, like his is his car.

Sorry about this post, but I was angry and felt that people should "denounce" this, I mean, if you know about some other case like this, share it with the world (you can start with me). The thing is that I consider myself quite a conservative person but I just can't accept this kind of stuff, not even on the 1960s. Now, if you want to change that horrible taste I left in your mouth, and feel like laughing at marriage (or with it), click on the words under the photo. Hope you like it.
