Whassup, paddymac and Le Scaramouche!

Paddywac, everytime I see your name, I think of that "This old man, he play one..with a nick nack paddy wack give a dog a bone" song
{either that or 'paddy wagon'} LOL!

Le Scaramouche, everytime I see your name, I've considered asking you what it means. So count this as a query.

Yep, the meaning of 'gay' changing from 'happy' to 'homosexual' sure does change the meaning of songs. And in our politically correct world, this means that some people might hesitate to sing some old songs in public settings just because they contain the word 'gay'.

Off the top of my head, I can't think of any examples of songs with like this, but I'm sure other folks can.

****

See ya later, alligator!
