THE O.G. RASCAL HATER

I should have never gone down this road. I heard Hanni El Khatib's version of "You Rascal You" tonight and it reminded me that I'd never heard it back to back with John Fogerty's version, the only one I knew, from 1975. The juxtaposition made Fogerty's version sound kind of like New Orleans R & B. So, I figured I'd look for the original. Holy shit, I've never been so sick of rascals in all my life. The song has a history, and there are forty billion versions. Fuggit, I'm stopping here.
