Mercy

Have you heard the song Mercy by Duffy? (I can't figure how to post a video, just google it) I've always liked it, it's fun to sing and you also can't help but wiggle around and dance a little bit whenever you hear it. It's also got a strong beat that's good to run to.

It's used a fair amount in commercials and finds it's way onto a soundtrack here and there. In the past year I've heard it in an episode of Glee (or was that Rehab by Amy Winehouse?), The Ladies Detective Agency (or was it Woman's Murder Club? Whatever it was, it didn't have a long shelf life on ABC's prime time line up) and for a commercial for It's Complicated, the Meryl Streep/Alec Baldwin movie. And I just heard it at the Olympics too!

It always kind of implies that something's afoot. But what is it about that song that became synonymous with mischief?
