I would like to dedicate this song to piperlime and all those marketer types who agree with them...

and anyone else who agrees with their advertising and would take us back to those days.

With a hat-tip to Are_grits_groceries for bringing this wonderful ad agency and their wonderful ads to my attention in Piperlime Ad Tells Sweatpants-Wearing Women They'll Send Men Running and to obamanut2012 and Sarah Ibarruri who brought Women's self-loathing is big business and supports a global capitalist system to my attention.

From Burt Bacharach as performed by Dionne Warwick, I present to you the 60s rendition of Wives and Lovers so that we can all return to the hairy, scary, pie-in-the-sky 60s/70s where 'man' thought he could go to the moon and Americans had something called 'ingenuity.'

Hey, little girl, comb your hair, fix your make-up, soon he will open the door,
Don't think because there's a ring on your finger, you needn't try any more.
For wives should always be lovers too,
Run to his arms the moment that he comes home to you.
I'm warning you,
Day after day, there are girls at the office and the men will always be men,
Don't send him off, with your hair still in curlers, you may not see him again.
Wives should always be lovers too,
Run to his arms the moment he comes home to you.
He's almost here, hey, little girl, better wear something pretty,
Something you wear to go to the city,
Dim all the lights, pour the wine, start the music, time to get ready for love.
Time to get ready for love, yes it's time to get ready for love,
It's time to get ready, kick your shoes off, baby...
