Super Superstitious...


Had the pleasure of this little nugget of 1972 Gold floating around my head yesterday...

If you’re superstitious, you might not like the fact that it was Friday the 13th...

But if you’re Stevie Wonder, it was your 61st birthday... Now that is very superstitious... 

Happy Birthday Mr Wonder!

NB. Check the little grommet shakin' it Stevie Style on the raised platform...

Below is the catchiest riff, so grab ya axe... Enjoy!!!

Ooh, very superstitious, wash your face and hands.
Rid me of the problem, do all that you can.
Keep me in a daydream, keep me goin' strong.
You don't wanna save me, sad is my song.
When you believe in things that you don't understand, then you suffer.
Superstition ain't the way.
Hey, hey, hey.

Very superstitious, nothing more to say.
Very superstitious, the devil's on his way.
Thirteen-month-old baby broke the looking glass.
Seven years of bad luck, the good things in your past.
When you believe in things that you don't understand, then you suffer.
Superstition ain't the way.
Hey, hey, hey.
Very superstitious.
