Yearlong Song Challenge, Day 13: Gilson

Prompt: "A song that's not about sex, but would be funnier if it was"

Selected by Gilson


"Sundown"
Gordon Lightfoot
Sundown, 1974

"I can picture every move that a man could make
Getting lost in her loving is your first mistake
Sundown, you better take care
If I find you been creeping 'round my back stairs."

This song is about butt-sex, of the experimental variety. Mr. Lightfoot is not really sure if he's into it, but man, does his lady really, really want to peg him. He says she can, if that's what she is really in to. He isn't sold, so he figures the least she can do is be open and straightforward if she's gonna enter the out door, so please don't creep around too much. Just do it. 

I stole this from the Beyond Yacht Rock podcast. It's hilarious, though now defunct, and I strongly urge everyone to go back and listen to their back episodes.

The pegging anthem "Sundown," and its tragic sequel "The Wrecking of Edmund Fitzgerald."
