Love Potion #9
If you bought a love potion to cure your problem of being "A flop with chicks", would you expect it to make you more attractive to women, or would you expect it to make everything seem attractive to you? I would expect the former, but the "love potion" in the song did the latter (and had predictably bad results).
I know. I expect too much logical consistency from songs. But does this make any sense?
I still think the song is nice to listen to.

Anyone who will drink something that smells like turpentine and looks like Indian ink, mixed up in some sink, is just asking for something like that to happen.
Never heard of the Searchers before. But yes, charming sound. Do you think they'd ever heard the Beatles?...
Love potions are supposed to be fed to the object of desire, who will then find one more attractive. Excessively morally dubious (think drink spiking)

Emma,
I'm sure they'd heard of the Beatles. I think they had a similar career (starting in Liverpool in 1960).
Anyway, I understand that a love potion could be intended for the other party. But, in that case, it seems to me that Madame Ruth (Rue?) should have warned him about the proper usage instructions. She must have known he was going to drink it himself when he closed his eyes and held his nose.
He probably had a strong case for a law suit.
