It started due to a discussion on FB about Mungo Jerry’s “Summertime.” The women were saying that it was so sexist because it’s says things like, “You got women, you got women, you got women on your mind.” Men always have women on their mind!
They also took issue with the lines, “If her daddy’s rich take her out for a meal, if her daddy’s poor just do what you feel.”
I said, “The words rhyme! That’s as far as that goes, IMO.” Plus Most songs are about sex, anyway! What’s so special about this one? (PS, I never even knew the actual words of the “If her daddy’s poor…” lyrics, until today. I still think they simply rhyme and that’s why they work.)
