[1970-1974 Best Songs]
Billboard Top 100, 1970, #52
Here's a little story you'll like.
A couple of years ago, my stepson, then about 13, was at the computer, rocking out to Lola.
I asked him, "Do you have any idea what that song's ABOUT??"
He looked at me blankly and said, "No. Why?"
"Go look up the lyrics."
He typed it in, clicked around, then started reading. The look on his face slowly changed from confusion to disgust. "She's a... hermaphrodite??"
"Transvestite," I corrected. I proceeded to explain the difference. He definitely chose the wrong word for what he meant.
"Dude," he said, still a little grossed out. "Well, it's still a cool song."
Indeed.
