Yowsa! A most amusing thread, Tunesmith, and to think I ignored it till now, not being particularly interested in Tom Paxton's sexual proclivities... :-)

You seem to have a gift for stirring up a certain amount of controversy on the ol' Mudcat. As far as irony goes, Canadians love it, so let's have more, I say!

You want perversion? Try out these Dylan lyrics...

"they asked for some collateral and I pulled down my pants"

"she takes just like a woman, yeah, she makes love just like a woman, and she aches just like a woman, but she breaks just like a little girl"

"I saw you makin' love to him...you forgot to close the garage door"

"but you will wind up peeking through her keyhole down upon your knees"

"the sword swallower walks up to you and then he kneels, he crosses himself and he clicks his high heels, and without further ado asks you how it feels, and says 'here is your throat back, thanks for the loan'"

"Dr Filth he keeps his world inside of a leather cup, and all his sexless patients they are trying to blow it up"

"And she says 'your debutante just knows what you need, but I know what you want'"

Gotta hand it to old Bob!

Then there's that Jackson Browne song called "Redneck Friend". It's about his "willie".

Then there's Olivia Newton-Joke doing "Physical" and other suggestive tripe like that, and pretending it's about phys ed or something.

Then there are those increasingly desperate Mariah Carey album covers in which we get to see a little more of Mariah each time...

Man, it's a jungle out there! :-)
