I have a recording of Lucille called “Shave ’em Dry” where there no doubts about what she singing. Every word we were not suppose to know when we 6 year olds (lol)

Pete,
I love the innuendo-it is so clever and she sings it so well. How she got ny the censors I’ll never know!

The one I have was a surviving acetate & no innuendo was needed. (lol)
There are amazing examples what did get pass the censor. Even some things got a release that were subsquently withdrawn when somebody woke up to what exactly the singer was saying. A good example was “Everybody’s Truckin’ ” by Smokey Wood & & his Wood Chips.

Pete,
Now when I watch TV I am totally amazed at what is acceptable. A character on regular TV, not cable, called her two former husbands pricks and I heard asshole not long ago. It’s unbelievable how wide the parameters have become.
Back in those days, maybe it was only the obvious they caught!
