WOS creepy Bobby Goldsboro, dippin' his wick for the first time. "two lips/julep": yeesh.
When I heard the "sun was a demon" line, alarms started to go off, but I couldn't remember what this was.  Creepy is right.

Bobby Goldsboro "looked in her eye" and he "swore it was winking."

So she has only one eye?

gun hill road was NTM.  cute!~

OHW from a band from the Bronx. It spent all of one week in the Top 40 at just about this time of year in '73. Produced by Kenny Rogers, of all people.

I didn't know that!!

I've said it before, but y'all should hear Millie Jackson's cover of this Bobby Goldsboro song.  She knocks it out of the park, gives it a totally different (and far less creepy) feel.

I assume she sings from the older woman's POV? or does some old dude sip the julep on his porch and deflower her?

"Ten years have gone by, since I looked in her eye..."

Yep, guess so!

Another BOS to Reverend Al!

I'd much rather hear Al Green sing about sex than Bobby G.  BOS4.

The latter.  But she changes the julep to a "cold, cold beer" (I forget what else she changes to make that rhyme).  I guess she thought the line as written was dumb too.

PS: What also helps the song is that she gives it new context: it's the last song on her Caught Up concept album about the dissolution of a marriage amid cheating; and she uses it to, upon having dissolved the relationship, look back on how fresh it was when it first began.

she sipped on a cold beer, and reached for his cute rear.

From me too.  I always liked this theme song, more than the show itself.
Now I'm eight bits...
