My stepsister thought she was singing, "We'd hear it from the people of the town: they're colored!" (let's face it, Cher isn't known for her eneunciation!).

The story:

She was fourteen; I was eleven. She was singing along with the radio, and when she sang it like that, I almost fell ion the floor laughing, and she "colored" quite nicely-a deep rose, as I recall. What can I say; I was the smart-aleck stepsister, and she hated looking like an idiot, even though we lived in the South, black people were still called "colored" by older folks, and she didn't know squat about the ethnic background of Gypsies!
