Listen Later

It's time to talk about Mercy Brown, not to be confused with Murphy Brown. One is a fesity single mother who endeared herself to us by shaking up the workplace in the '80s, and the other is a vampire. So try to keep them straight.

This is the story of Mercy Brown. Come for the ghost, stay for Prince would hate that, they called it a curse and in some ways it is, snort it, you fool!, thicken up them walls, two is fine; four is greedy, we have a pool going, oh no did he catch it again?, and just let them take off your head.
