Steve Perry has a hit called “Oh Sherry”. If Steve Perry and Sherry married each other, would she become Sherry Perry?
No, because she’s a modern gal, and she’s going to keep her maiden name.
At Christmas time she would have been a very merry Sherry Perry.
I went to school with a girl with that name, although the spelling was slightly different.
How scary!
Her last name is Berry, and she decided to hyphenate:
Sherry Berry-Perry
But their children went their Seperate Ways with the hyphenation:
Mary Perry-Berry
Larry Berry-Perry
…then Mary married Gary Ferry-Kerry, and she became Mary Perry-Berry-Ferry-Kerry, and everyone threw up their hands in disgust.
The moral of this story is: Don’t Stop Be-lee-eevin’!
I can still hear that song perfectly in my head from the endless MTV reruns.
"I shooed a big dog!
Though it howled I made the deal
And I shouldn’t see fog
Knowing that beer I used to steal…
But I must’ve been a dreamer (woah oh woah)…"
Steve wrote some seriously trippy lyrics.
And always make sure to take your vitamin B1. Wouldn’t want to develop Beriberi.
And she’d have to dilligently keep up with the grooming. No one wants a very hairy merry Sherry Perry walking around with the beriberi at Christmastime. THAT would have been scary.
Maybe that’s why they broke up.
Her name was Sherrie Swafford. They broke up so, alas, she never became Sherrie Perry. Last I heard she was a real estate broker in California.
She was a lovely woman in her day, but it’s hard for me to overlook those orange stockings she wore with the white sundress in the “Oh, Sherrie” video. Oh my.

What if Oprah married Deepak Choprah?
And what if Ella Fitzgerald had married Darth Vader?
She would’ve always been going down the shaft.
What if Batman became a Sith lord?
He’d be Darth Knight.
He said married, not dating.
