poison ivy

"Poison ivy, poison ivy
Well late at night when you're sleeping
Poison ivy comes a creeping all around."

Released by The Coasters in 1959 and also recorded by The Rolling Stones in 1964. I used to love The Rolling Stones but when, years later, Ray gave me their album Forty Licks, I found that for me, the magic had gone.

Googling this I found the 'mind-boggling' fact that it's the only pop song to have the words 'calamine lotion' in the lyrics..................

Great to see my leaf with frost on PP - thank you everyone!

Awesome ! Yeah, it seems as I look at my "teen" idols, they have lost their shine. What was I thinking ? Ha ha ha

I liked them both but found later that, for me, the magic had gone from The Beatles too!
