Go cherry, cherry Coupe now
Go cherry, cherry Coupe now
Go cherry, cherry Coupe now
My cherry Coupe beats 'em coming off the line
Go cherry, cherry Coupe now
And she really gets sparks when she starts to whine.
So when you listen to Little Deuce Coupe, do you get a little crazy when they say "four on the floor"?

Isn't 'Don't Worry Baby' all about a (first) sexual encounter?

That's just part a small part of it.
Add to that ...
"She's ported and relieved and she's stroked and bored.
She'll do a hundred and forty with the top end floored."
As well as ...
"There's one more thing, I got the pink slip daddy."
Plus ...
"And comin' off the line when the light turns green"
And finally...
"Well she blows em outta the water like you never seen
I get pushed out of shape and it's hard to steer
When I get rubber in all four gears."

Quote from: Mr. Cohen on September 15, 2013, 09:44:27 PM
Does it exist? Or is it just a hazardous byproduct of my imagination? Take, for example, the beginning of "Take A Load Off Your Feet". Coyly, Brian sings:
I do 'em when I'm down in the tub
With avocado cream, they'll take a rub
They wrinkle like raisins if I stay too long
I wouldn't want to do 'em wrong
What do you think he's referring to there, in the plural? Maybe those things on the end of your feet called "toes" ?
"Well she blows em outta the water like you never seen
I get pushed out of shape and it's hard to steer
When I get rubber in all four gears."
The Japanese motor industry legacy:
Too many people have only driven
Toyota's
all their lives.
I cant see any real sexual innuendo in Cherry, Betsy, etc...cmon you guys can do better than this!!

Wait, that's really how you interpret that line? Jesus. I mean it's clearly about literally ejaculating on telephone cable.

I always thought sexual innuendo was something that sneaked up on you. If its really well done you don't "get it" right away
it sort of dawns on you and you say...Ohhh Yeah.
For instance while listening to Slip on Through
... my love is growing like a big 'ol tree...
my wife said, oh that's nasty - and I said, huh???
Oh, you just have a dirty mind!

Here's one that occurred to me recently:
"All the kids are splitting to their lockers but we're still making out in the car now
Just one long kiss and we'll be gone 'cause two minutes all there are now
Here comes the news, there's no time to lose
Ooooooh wooooh ooooh"
and also this, which I noticed when listening to the overdub session on MiC:
Since she's the head cheerleader, she dates the quarterback
And her best friend's going out with the full back
She might even run for an office this Spring
And that ought to really make her telephone ring
I'm not sure why exactly, but there's definitely some kind of salacious innuendo here. Like, this definitely isn't just a old-fashioned, bakelite dial telephone ringing on a desk that Mike is talking about, there...!
...or perhaps my mind just needs a run through the car wash, too.

That is an interesting choice, In The Parking Lot. It is a neat little song, that I'd love to see in the setlist. But, it is sort of a throwback to the 60's when couples drove to school together, in those boat-sized monster V-8's, and hung out until the bell would ring or the news came on.

This thread was pretty amusing. And there are some double entendres. Maybe not as many as have been stretched here. Very imaginative interpretations!

Nope. Back in the day, late 50s early 60s if you went to a drive in movie, you'd see a public service announcement from Smokey the Bear reminding us that "only you can prevent forest fires." It was always shown before the movies along with the other misc. ads and announcements. It has nothing to do with preventing pregnancy as some people think. It was an actual public service announcement put out by the Forest Service. You have to be old to remember this one.

Yeah, a lot of these lines have to be listened to with 60 yr old minds. It was a lot less risque time then. Do striped shirts ring a bell?

I think the part that's raising eyebrows here is the first line "If you say you watched the movie, you're a couple of liars..." In other words, if you're not watching the movie, what are you kids up to?
Of course, in those relatively innocent days, the answer would've been "necking and stuff!"
