That's pretty funny.
After watching the cast of West Side Story perform "Cool" and "Tonight" on the Ed Sullivan Show (in '58 I believe), my mom bought me the OBC LP. I was only 10 and when I heard "The Jet Song" and "Gee, Officer Krupke" for the first time, instead of "If the spit hits the fan" and "Gee, Officer Krupke -- Krup you!", I thought they were singing "If the shit hits the fan" and "Gee, Officer Krupke -- fuck you!".
I had recently gotten my mouth washed out with soap (Lifebuoy -- the worst!) for saying "Fuck, yeah!" at the dinner table (a phrase, BTW, my fellow altar boys at St . Barbara Grade School said all the time). I was so paranoid that I was going to get the soap treatment again, I made sure to skip those two tracks whenever my parents were around. |
