The Crystals - He Hit Me (And It Felt Like A Kiss)

This is the saddest of all the sad sad songs written by Carole King. Written when she and her husband discovered her babysitter, little Eva, was being beaten by her boyfriend, and Eva's of him. It's a complicated, devastating song. However while doing my usual desultory internet research I discovered the following.

In 2007, Los Angeles electronic power ballad collective Shank God recorded a song, "She Pissed On Me (And It Felt Like a Shit)" which references the title of the song, even though the song itself has no lyrics.


A fact which has so throughly blown my mind I have nothing further to add at this time.
