Talk:Sister Mary Elephant

Why nothing about how viciously an attack on Catholic sister this whole routine is? I am not talking about the way it ridicules the Catholic Church, I am more concerned about the anti-feministic attack on women, especially catholic sisters.

Only Top 40 spoken word recording?
[edit]According to this article, "Sister Mary Elephant" is the only non-music spoken word recording to ever crack the top 40 of the Billboard Hot 100. This is cited to Joel Whitburn's The Billboard Book of Top 40 Hits (no year, edition, or page cited). From listening to the track, I agree that indeed it is a purely spoken-word recording with no singing or instrumental background music. However, I have checked both the 7th (2000) and 9th (2010) editions of the Whitburn book, and not only does it not say that "Sister Mary Elephant" is the only non-musical spoken word recording to hit the top 40, it doesn't even mention that the track is a non-musical spoken word recording at all. Is there a better citation for this claim that can be found? --Metropolitan90 (talk) 04:44, 16 January 2018 (UTC)
