tommyrot, is that the "I've got a brand new pair of roller skates; you've got a brand new key" song? I love that song, and have since I was little.
You guys had a riot? On account of me? A real riot?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
"Ring My Bell" was featured prominently at my prom. It might have even been the official prom theme.

Cindy's a Melanie fan, eh?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Sounds like back door love, to me.
He's equal opportunity:
Uh, ah-oh-oh! I went downtown,
I saw Miss Brown;
She had brown sugar
All over her booga-wooga.
I think I might join the fun,
But I had to hit and run.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I am still bitter about the Prom Committee political brou-ha-ha that led to my prom song NOT being "Let's Chill" by Guy. Seriously.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
"I'm glad I'm a man, and so is Lola."
There's also, "Girls will be boys and boys will be girls / It's a mixed up muddled up shook up world except for Lola."
Which you could interpret two ways too, I suppose - but then when you look at the song as a whole I think the conclusion is inescapable.
Well I'm not the world's most physical guy
But when she squeezed me tight she nearly broke my spine
and
Well I'm not dumb but I can't understand
Why she walked like a woman and talked like a man

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
Holly Woodlawn, about whom "Walk on the Wild Side" was written, is the guest of honor at an event we're holding at my theatre in September. I'm kinda psyched to meet her.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
What did you think it was about before? Or did you just never think about it? (I've missed song lyric double-entendres by not thinking about the lyrics.)
Never thought about it.

Yep.
I just listened to it now (it's on my iPod). Fun.

Also, I've never paid attention to the lyrics of "Brand New Key", but I had no idea it was about anything other than rollerskates and keys.
