"Hang on Stupid!"

I went to my regular salon to get a haircut today. It's a great little salon staffed with a

bunch of ladies from the Philippines. It was a major coo for me to find a stylist who cuts

my hair the way I like! Most of the customers are expats and the radio is tuned to 106.9

which is pop and oldies, mostly American and British.

A number one hit from 1965 by The McCoys, "Hang on Sloopy", came on the radio.

One of the hairdressers started singing along, but she sang; "hang on stupid, stupid hang on..." And not quietly either! At first I thought I heard incorrectly, but as she sang it over

and over I knew I hadn't. Keeping a straight face I just started thinking, with all

the different languages and cultures why would she know a word like sloopy?

And doesn't it make more sense to tell someone who's stupid to hang on?

From now on that song will always make me smile!
