Just Say Maybe: The Temptations

'Cloud Nine'
--The Temptations (1968)

The accusation: The narrator escapes his troubles by "riding high on Cloud Nine."

The defense: The Tempts countered that songwriters Norman Whitfield and Barrett Strong were clean-living fellows.

The verdict: Guilty. Living in a "one-room shack" with a father that "treated us like dirt," you don't get to Cloud Nine without help.

That is probably the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard. I think it's a sad world we live in today. CLOUD 9 IS AN EXPRESSION! Not all of us have to take "happy pills" to make us feel better. Ridiculous.

And another thing, Spinner Staff, not all of us needed the happy pills, and weed to be able to face whatever came our way. That you infer we did insults me and my friends. What a sad world you have made in your mind. Sorry for you.

Lawdy! Spinner Staff, You morons. In the day, being on cloud 9 was an expression that fundamentally meant a method by which you, yourself, could put your mind off or on the things that necessitated cloud 9.
