<p>Thanks for these blasts from the past. Clearly a generation ago we were listening to much of the same sexual lyrics that they listen to today. We just did it with style—and apparently invented innuendo.</p>
<p>Sadly, I am sure when I was belting these lyrics out to the radio in my car 1976 I had no idea what they meant! Wasn’t “Muskrat Love” just about rodents?</p>
<p>I’m going to point this out to my kids! I’m sure I’ll get a big laugh… or more likely eyes rolling. However, this post has reminded me just how suggestive, and sometimes raw, my own lyrics are.
I’ve listed to it for so long…</p>
<p>Anyone heard the Garth Brooks song, That Summer? I just noticed the lyrics the other day! It’s about a tryst between a boy and the woman he works for “that summer.”</p>
<p>Aw, really? It seems innocent to me, and so much fun. Isn’t it just about people going to some hole-in-the-wall club to dance their butts off? Or am I missing something? If there’s naughtiness in that song, it must be really subtle.</p>
<p>Relax is just gross. I loved that album (“Welcome to the Pleasure Dome”) when I was a teenager. It took me years to realize that the “mountain” in the artwork inside the LP cover was actually a giant male organ. Those people had problems.</p>
<p>Can’t say I’ve ever seen that album cover. I just danced, danced, danced at the clubs in Dallas back in the day, when half the people were on Ecstasy. Not me. I didn’t need to alter my state in order to have a good time in the clubs.</p>
