The most disturbing song in the whole wide world

"Oh virgin..." began the Muzak song as I was grocery shopping. What an odd beginning for a song, I thought, Maybe I misheard it. It was a song in the style of Bobby Vinton, or any one in a number of 1950s-early 60s male singers. It felt very familiar to me, but I couldn't quite put my finger on it until it got to the chorus:

"Like a virgin - that's right! - touched for the very first time..."

Infinitely more hilarious and disturbing that the Mike Flowers Pops' version of Wonderwall was this bouncy little version of Madonna's song. But I'm sure I was the only one at Casino who recognized and understood the lyrics and walked down the aisles laughing to herself.
