“the parents’ bad marriage; the friends’ unhappy lives; the boyfriend’s enthusiasm for marriage but controlling nature; the woman’s initial resistance and ultimate capitulation.”
Wow, I never knew it was such a downer of a song. Guess I never paid that much attention to the lyrics.
Of course, I never knew what “Louie, Louie” was about, either.
Teenager at the time. It took me 30 more years to realize that we are living in a man’s world. Women can benefit only when they’re smart. Upper class and married a junkie. Never missed a meal so I guess she could speak out on behalf of others. Jane Fonda? Let’s not go there.
Louie, Louie is about a sea voyage to Jamaica.
Sounds lie me. There are quite a few songs that I like but have never listened closely to the lyrics.
