Thread Name: Nice Songs Made Naughty
Subject: RE: Nice Songs Made Naughty
"Redwing" is perhaps the ultimate classic example. Having learned the tune from my father's singing, I was approaching middle age before I learned it was anything but a dirty song.

My mother, to this day, is shocked by it, even played as a fiddle tune. Fortunately, she never listened to western swing much anyway.
