I was listening to 'Cecilia' by Simon and Garfunkel this morning. Now, I grew up listening to my parents records of theirs all the time(also John Denver, Janis Joplin, lotsa Motown, etc). Cept, today I really listened to the lyrics.
I remember my sisters and I would put on this song, turn it up, and dance around the living room. lol. We would also take a stereo outside and dance on the porch, without a care in the world, lol. we would also cover every inch of concrete and brick around the house with sidewalk chalk....we had a very creative mother.
ok, back to my point, wow this song has some really progressively sexual lyrics. Most notably:
"Making love in the afternoon with cecilia
Up in my bedroom (making love)
I got up to wash my face
When I come back to bed
Someones taken my place"
or it could just be about a whore? hehe
I mean for a 3 or 4 yr old kid to be groovin to a song about open relationships is a funny thought.
