Probable copyvio
edit The secn i've objected to begins with a sentence so redundant to the lead sent of the article that it is only plausible to me when explained by the assumption that the editor who started the article copied that secn verbatim from another source. (I say this, even knowing that that wording does not appear on basic Google except as frank copying from Wikipedia, nor at all on Google Books.)
I'm not inclined to edit that sec'n w/o settlement of the question of whether the previous revisions need to be deleted from the edit history, but here is what i would like to see in place of the offending secn -- if only bcz the existing description of the song's content is too OR to be of interest, unless it is ripped off from an expert authoritative enuf to probably vigorously enforce their copyright!
- The singer addresses a rival described as "brag[ging] ... that you've been a lovin' with my man", and warns the rival that the singer's man regards the rival as mere "trash", and that the singer will vigorously assault the rival in the event of further attention to him. The singer insinuates that the rival would get to "Fist City" by failing to avoid "my town", and also attaches the term to the image of "a meal".
- Owen Bradley produced Lynn's late 1967 recording of the song, which was released by Decca Records in early 1968. "Fist City" was her second No. 1 hit in early 1968.[vague] The album of the same name, later that year, was equally successful.[vague]
