topcat(The most tip top) Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 In January 1969 Pope Paul VI officially banned the song “Son of a Preacher man” by Dusty Springfield because it contravenes established teaching on clerical celibacy. It’s still technically on the list but distinguished contemporary theologians like Cardinal Ventracina think it’s probably still OK for the faithful to watch Pulp Fiction 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GordonD Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 "Son of a Preacher Man" was originally written as an advertising jingle for the Pizzaland chain of restaurants. The tag line was "The only pie that could ever feed me / Pepperoni from Pizzaland!" However when they went out of business it was rewritten to remove the product name and became a hit for Dusty Springfield - exactly like the Coca-Cola ad with the New Seekers. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
