When we were kids, maybe 10-ish, we used to tell 'dirty' joke and sing similar songs without realy knowing what they were all about. Tonight, after a bottle of very nice Shiraz, I remembered, the 'belly dance' tune -

"All the girls in France
do a very dirty dance
They pull down their knickers
and they show all their dickers
All the boys is Spain
do th every, very same"

Never mind that it makes no sense whatsoever. It showed that at 10 we knew that the pulling down of knickers was something to be sniggered at! A little later I remember getting a clip round the ear for singing this version of a popular Irish song while it played on the telly -

"Whe Irish eyes were smiling
I took her down the lane
I gave her what she wanted
and left her there in pain
When the pain was over
her tum began to swell
and out popped little Harry
With Irish eyes as well"

Again. I didn't have a clue what I was on about.

But, here is the rub, I never had a formal sex education, as I guess most kids in the 50s and 60s didn't. Did our school ditties and dirty chats around the bike sheds enhance or detract from what was to come (Pun intended). Anyome else want to to share any childhood songs that were, in the main, all the sex eduation we goy?

BTW - I never got to see the Anne's 'front bottom' on the farmers fields. Even though the big lads said she showed it to everyone:-)
