This song came up in shuffle today and I did a double take when I heard the lyrics:
I love you so much I know what I'll do
I'm clippin' your wings, your flyin' is through
'Cause I'm crazy about you, you butterfly (ooh, ah)
The psychopath message is belied by the gentle trot of the music and melody. I know it was 1957 and times were very different, but didn't anyone say, "Andy, this song cute and all, but it is sung from the point of view of a raging lunatic?"
