Not sure I want to know what "make it good in a lay-by" means, but I could venture a guess.

Mungo Jerry is British. A "lay by" is the same as what Americans refer to as a "rest stop" beside the main road. Ergo, what he prescribes is pulling off at a rest stop and making out.

FReegards!

Rephrase that! SHE SURE CAN COOK! And she is decent to look at to boot!

And her little vicious dog fell in love with me.

What's so offensive about those lyrics?

The song that offended me most during the summer of 1970 was "American Woman" by the Guess Who. At the time, it astounded me that this anti-American diatribe reached the top of the Billboard Hot 100.

I also had a problem with "Lay Down" by Melanie Safka, which I saw as being clearly an attempt to undermine our war effort in Vietnam. And I don't know what church Norman Greenbaum attended, if any, but I found the theology expressed in his hit song "Spirit in the Sky" to stray a long way from the standard Christian doctrine to which I adhered, and still do.

This tune from the summer of 1970 provides a pretty good description of a party that I attended in October, 1969.

I hope Mungo Jerry’s version of In The Summertime isn’t banned either.

That didn’t sound like the song title I recall
so I checked it out and your source is incorrect.

The song title is “If You Want to Be Happy”

Well, the song is kind of offensive. It sounds all nice, until you listen to it.

For one that sounds all nice until you listen to the lyrics - listen to Lightning Strikes. Ewww....
