What's the name of the classic song in which Adelaide sings "In other words, just from wondering whether the wedding is on or off, a person can develop a cough"?
Answer "Adelaide's Lament"
In a classic example of 1920s - 1950s misogyny, the song features Adelaide describing her psychosomatic symptoms from a pop psychology book. She discovers her "cold" might be the result of her fiancé's constant promises that they'll soon get married - promises he never fulfills.
