What it is
"Harper Valley PTA" was written by Tom T. Hall and recorded by Jeannie C. Riley as her debut single in August 1968, topping both the Billboard Hot 100 and the country chart. Mrs. Johnson's daughter brings home a PTA note criticizing her mother's short dresses and nights out, and Mrs. Johnson walks into the PTA meeting to expose the members' own private indiscretions, calling them hypocrites.
