The original singer said the song was about female stripper?/photo girl Betty Page. Makes sense when you hear the words.

That’s Jamel Griffin. He’s gotten into a lot of 60’s and 70’s stuff. Love his reactions because he’s honest and enthusiastic.

I enjoy watch Jamel’s video’s. My wife hates them and all reaction video’s.

She will sit next to the TV and react to the reactor.

There are a lot of those, and the “I didn’t know they were white” reactions... Lol

I get a kick out of the music teachers who get blown away. :)
