Know what I hate about Stevie Wonder's "Superstition?"
Edited on Fri Apr-13-07 10:27 AM by Orrex
When you mention the song, some knucklehead invariably feels the need to point out that the bassline is played on keyboard.

Another astonishing and little-known fact about the song is that Stevie Wonder is blind.

There's no end to the things I can learn on DU.
