The Linguistic Objectification Of Will

On the other hand, I should have recognized Peggy March from the very first syllable. (I remember John Waters saying in the notes to Hairspray that he'd included Peggy for shock effect!)

"I Will Follow Him" is rumored to be the linguistic objectification of will taken from an Italian march and recorded by a girl appropriately named Little Peggy March.
