Alpo Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 I was listening to Benny Goodman play Sing Sing Sing. In the comments it explained that while Goodman played it as an instrumental, Louis Prima wrote it with lyrics. I went looking for the lyrics. I found this on metrolyrics. Advisory - the following lyrics contain explicit language: Sing, sing, sing, sing Everybody start to sing La dee da, ho, ho, ho Now you're singing with a swing Sing, sing, sing, sing Everybody start to sing La dee da, ho, ho, ho Now you're singing with a swing And when the music goes around Everybody's goes to town But here's something you should know Ho ho baby ho ho ho Sing, sing, sing, sing Everybody start to sing La dee da, ho, ho, ho Now you're singing with a swing And when the music goes around Everybody's goes to town But here's something you should know Ho ho baby ho ho ho The best that I can figure out, the EXPLICIT LYRICS is HO HO HO. You know - like Santa Claus - ho ho ho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bgavin Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 My earliest memory of fowl music is The Chicken Dance which is played at wedding receptions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Father Kit Cool Gun Garth Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 The word "explicit" is an adjective typically used in conjunction with words such as "gore", "violence", "sex", etc. to relay specificity. In this case, it would mean that the language in the lyrics has been "stated clearly...leaving no room for confusion or doubt." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpo Posted February 19, 2020 Author Share Posted February 19, 2020 You can't go by the dictionary anymore. >'When I use a word,’ Humpty Dumpty said in rather a scornful tone, ‘it means just what I choose it to mean — neither more nor less.'< People have decided that explicit means the same as adult. Adult used to mean no longer a child. Now it means dirty, obscene, pornographic. "Adult movie". "Adult literature". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramblin Gambler Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 I think this is the explicit part. "Everybody's goes to town" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J-BAR #18287 Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 I was talking to some younger relatives, teens and twenties, at a reunion. I mentioned I had shot my wad at the racetrack and got some giggles and embarrassed looks in return. I had to explain it was a firearm term for spending all my money. Indeed.
