This concerns Neil Diamonds fabulous song Holly Holy. How is it that Holly means totally? Is it Hebrew or Greek? My name is Robert.
It's not an emergency. Write when you can. Thanks

It's a pun. Tin Pan Alley writers were famous for them. Totally = Wholly Wholly | Define Wholly at Dictionary.com (http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/wholly). Wholly Holy doesn't scan, hence Holly Holy
