Reelin’ In the Years 147: Wherewithal
Posted in 1970s, Lyrics, Music, Poetry, Reelin' In The Years at 12:00 on 30 March 2018
Clifford T Ward was an unusual pop star. Who else would have based a popular song around a Robert Browning poem in Home Thoughts from Abroad? (See here track 7.)
Not only did Ward use the word wherewithal in this song, he made it the title.
And I doubt you’ll find non-pareil in any other song lyric. (Granted, nonchalant is less rare.)
