PLEASE! I just finished breakfast. It's an abomination, not a hypercorrection.

In addition to being an egregious insult to the Buckinghams’ pop song from the 70s...

My mistake, it was in 1967 that the Buckinghams recorded "Kind Of A Drag"

"Hush" by Deep Purple in 1968 and there was a less famous version by Billy Joe (Down in the Boondocks) Royal in 1967

Edit: However, if the past is any indication, it's entirely possible that I'm the one who's missed more than something.
