She Rubbed Me The Wrong Way
She was a blond hot “thang”,
In a convertible Mustang.
She looked at me and I looked at her,
Seemed we both had a little “stir”.
She had that whole package,
With the bod and pretty face.
And when she smiled at me,
I knew she had great taste!
She must have that “inner eye”,
As she seemed to look beyond my blues.
Man! She got beyond my long hair,
And beyond my limp and even tattoos!
Maybe I’m not that ogre in the mirror.
Maybe someone sees the man inside.
Maybe this one can see my inner soul.
This renaissance man has finally arrived.
She drove on as I marveled in the lot,
Of the serendipity at Mall-Wart.
We put people up on the moon,
But can’t return a shopping cart.
I drive on with an inner peace.
Knowing that I’m seen in a different light.
I’m lifted up by the vision of another.
I just wish I hadn’t glanced to the right.
There was that convertible,
She waved and smiled again.
Then she curled that wave,
And motioned me to pull in.
I already had a little gasp,
And a bit of a hard “swaller”,
When I saw that Tang,
At the Rub-A-Dub massage parlor.
It’s no big deal.
There’s not much to say.
She and her magic fingers,
just rubbed me,
the wrong way.

Halloween Blessed Be Witches And Warlocks, Come In And Sit By My Warm Cauldron, I have Lot's Of Magic To Show You! by Nell Rose
It's amazing the photos you can get on the internet.
I took photos and I changed them with a bit of computer magic.
I distorted them and shrank them to have an unrecognizable photo.
This is for the privacy of the person in the picture.
I went through hundreds.
But I was amazed at the car washing industry.
It is astonishing, how many young women are hard at work washing cars!

Yo Creativeone! I'd better drop in on you and get a "word"!
Hi Micky I drove a Mustang convertable once for a month and it was fun. I even wrote a hub about it "Crazy for a month" so check it out when you can. Loved the pictures, did not care much for the song
This is so cute and clever, You got that thang!! I gotta go back and listen to all the videos.
Cheers

Petra! I read your hub or I remember you saying something about it. I'll go back. Did you listen to the Buddy Guy version? I actually like it best! I love those cute little girls with 7 year old Sam! I'm coming to check out that hub now. I love you Dear Petra! Yo! I saw this right away so the Mustang can wait. "The Way Communism Affected Romania"

Yo! Always Exploring! Thank you Dear lady! I was hoping you would like it! God bless Ruby!
I had a black Mustang once, the one with the metal louvres on the back window. The rattling of those is what finally drove me insane. I'm a Bentley person now. Did you know the dash of a Bentley is made with 75 year old burnished walnut? Yep, I told them to plant my tree, and when it's ready, they're supposed to have me on the mailing list!
Micky my brother! This is really cool and I loved reading it and listening to the song - especially liked the Buddy Guy version.
Thanks for the great music and the laughs. BTW loved "The Commitments" the movie.
Love and peace
Tony
You lucky dog, you.
I wanted her to rub me the wrong way, but it was too expensive.
Hi Micky this is brilliant , at the moment I'm listening to 7 yr old Sam and the girls. What a voice !!!! Your hubs are so original and naturally written .
I am going to make a cuppa now then I'm coming back to listen to the others.
Carry on writing Micky and I will carry on reading.
Take care and God Bless.

Tony- I hate to say how uncool I am but I had never heard of the Commitments or the movie. It rings a little bell is all. But I was impressed with the soul that came out! Peace BrotherMan Tony!

Eiddwen! It's always good to see your avatar! Thank you so much! I'm coming to see if you have any surprises. God bless you my Dear!
Oh Micky. That was great.... l dread to imagine what you were like when you were in your 20s...............

Dim- I was confused. Vietnam took a big chunk of my brain, my thoughts. I hid my problems. I wanted to be normal"(?). I wanted to appear to be "alright". I wasn't. I was lost. I did not know what reality was. I searched God. I searched for meaning and got more confused as I looked for guidance from my fellow man. My eyes are clearly on God now. I can see. But in my twenties - sorry my Dear - I was lost. I was spiritual and wanted only peace that could not be found by imitating life. Dim- I wish I could have been "alive" then. My salvation was the bicycle. I would not be alive today without the bike or that "art" in my life. You know I love you Dim! God bless you Girl!
Mic, good fun, I laid it on the man, Pickett he dun dun it first, 50

Wilson Pickett is running away with the poll!
That isn't the clearest "sound" with this video - but I love his showmanship. He really plays the crowd. I think most of these performers do a bit. The song incites inspiration for crowd participation! Yo Bro 50!

Now what I meant was- the quality of the video is just a little fuzzy but it still - "goes to town"! Now Wilson Pickett write it I'm sure. The video of Creedence says that it's "Mustang Sally - by Wilson Pickett". But I dug just a tad and this is Creedence. There is another "Creedence" "Mustang Sally" I compared to it. God bless 50!
The "Creedence video has a lot of mustangs on it! But that's definitely John Fogerty and his guitar. Rock on Dusty!
very cute Micky, i liked it very much. need to go back and watch all the videos to see which one i liked best so i can vote. ;) lvh
Haha! Very clever! I liked the line "We put people up on the moon but can't return a shopping cart."
Too bad this woman (real or imagined) who saw through you to your soul turned out to be a "working woman." You deserve a real soulmate, Micky! At least you have some hubpage friends who see your special inner values! They shine through your hubs.
Great job, Micky-and it's Wilson Pickett all the way!

Oh my goodness- I wish I were "writinginalaska"! Thank you Dear! Is it true that it's warm in Alaska all year 'round?

Peggy- I've seen big burly men, firemen, who I respect and love, big burly men with cases of beer - totally too incompetent to push a cart back where it belongs. If I ran the world - only handicapped people could get shopping carts other than in the lot.
I do have wonderful friends here Peg. God bless a friend like you too!

lorlie!!! Wilson Pickett by a landslide! God bless you Dear!
Hello Micky, your wit and charm needs a larger audience, we cannot do you justice with our thumbs up and awesome buttons. Grey is smooth, but Pickett owns it.

KKalmes! I bow to the people's choice! K my Dear - you and your wonderful comments are enough to keep me going! You know - if I were a hundred years younger - I'd be a younger idiot! But I love you Girl! God bless you!
Okay brotherman where did you find that pic of my mustang sally laying on my hood. Yup those where the days, in my 57 Chevy and my 73 Silver Convertible Caddy Eldorado.
The gals sure flocked around my wheels, and a few great spins we got in down at the carwash:0)) Great tunes to add along with the pics as always my man.
You have great taste in woman and music. Peace and thumbs up from the Saddle.

saddlerider BrotherMan! She has to be yours Dude! You know she's out of mine. I'm looking for a nurse before long- not Nurse Goodbody either!
...could somebody tell that blonde to get out of the way of that beautiful mustang ......
....but at the same time I would like to see her rub you Monsieur Dee the right way .......
...and I love your choice of the different variations of Mustang Sally ... I have a video from BOOB TUBE of the Mormon Tabernacle choir shaking their booty to 'Mustang Sally' - and believe me it's sweet just like this hub!!!!
- Author
EpigrammingMan!!! They do THAT! I had to look through millions of these pictures of beautiful women standing in front of the Mustang! Some of them five or twenty times!
- Author
Oh Epigrammarman! If they would just not try to kill me!

I really need to see this Mormon Tabernacle video! Funny! God bless you EpiBrotherMan!
Mickey,great write!Blues Brothers version of Mustang Sally is the one I most liked.
- Author
Go Dill Will! Break that streak of Wilson Pickett! Oh God bless Wilson Pickett. I chose Buddy. They are hard to choose from. The 7 yr old Sam almost gets my vote for the cute little girls dancing with Little Sam singing! God bless!
I love the line too about the putting men on the moon and not returning shopping carts! What's up with that.
Cute as always, Micky - loved the Blues Brother vid! They were one of my favorite duos.
Hahaha! And that last pic, really! Thank you for the laugh, King Micky! :) By the way, I want one of that Mustang, in pink! :p
Man, as I was reading this and checking out the photos that old Stones (?) tune was runnin' though what's left of my brain. "My, my, my, said the spider to the fly". Mustang Sally is a tune that has gotten so overplayed over the years the only version I care to hear is brother Wilson Pickett's. Good hub brother! Peace!! Tom
- Author
akirchner!!! What's up with that? You see what I'm talking about!
Freya!!! Thank you for getting that last picture! Pink eh? You'd be Mustang Freya. "Mustang Freya! Baby! You better slow your Mustang down!"
Tom! I think most of us have moved on a little. We have to slow it down! God bless Tom!
Yep! Pink Mustang! Simply because it will caused headache in men's head while they see it. Mustang in Barbie color, imagine that! I almost able to hear someone yelling, "Are you crazy?" LOL. No man want to ride Mustang in pink. Hahaha
Oh this is so good, you revealed a great many truths about both men and women and or people in general. I love your poem she rubbed me the wrong way and all the great Mustang Sally videos WOW great entertainment and much needed break. Thanks dear Micky :)
You are such a very clever hubber my friend! I enjoyed this hub and voted for Wilson Pickett. You play with words so creatively! Two thumbs up! Voted this awesome and beautiful too. =)

Freya! You will have no trouble getting a man in that car with you! Like I've said- if I were 40 years younger - I'd still be a macaroon!
