The original version of Cocktails for Two (1934) celebrated the end of Prohibition in 1933:
Oh what delight to be given the right to
Be carefree and gay once again.
No longer slinking, respectfully drinking
Like civilized ladies and men...

I wish we could be carefree and gay.

The word gay no longer is used according to the old dictionary definition.

Now the word gay means homosexual and only homosexual. Its not even a double meaning word. The word has been completely transformed.
