Isn't the internet wonderful

#1 Post by ghostjmf » Sun Feb 22, 2015 11:08 am

I just learned that Stevie is not lauding a Chevrolet in "Don't You Worry 'Bout a Thing", he is saying "todo este bien chevere", which is said to mean "its all cool".

But I also learned the Mamas & Papas are singing "you know the preacher likes it cold" in "California Dreaming" which I won't believe for a minute until I find it in an actual printed songbook. I thought they were singing "you know the preacher locks his door", because the preacher didn't *want* John Phillips to stay. Would you?

It's pretty clear on this video, especially when the back-ups echo it back:

Sounds more like "the preacher likes the cold" to me.
