P.S. Were people at the time shocked -- shocked! -- that the boys said "when she makes love to me" in the lyric? I've wondered what were the first pop hits to use progressively more graphic sexual language.
Yes.
Which is why there were "clean" and "dirty" versions of the "Under the Boardwalk" ("making love" and "falling in love") and "Help Me Rhonda" ("she was gonna be my lover" got changed to "...my wife").
I simply think "making love" didn't used to mean "making love."
