I heard a song on the radio the other day. I wish I could remember the exact lyrics so I could search for it. It was a country song. Basically, the singing guy was wishing he could be like a saddle (or jeans?) so he could be between or close to his two favorite places…his horse’s back and his girlfriend’s crotch. It was NOT Garth Brooks’ "Cowgirl’s Saddle " but he expresses similar desires to be close to both places he liked… I have searched a lot of lyrics sites w/o luck…possibly because I cannot remember the exact lyrics…only the gist of the song… Any help out there from you music aficionados? Thanx ! ---

What kind of song was it? It wasn’t Pony by Genuwine was it? ---

Horse’s back, girlfriend’s crotch. That’s some gist. :: …decides to look up gist for real… Etymology is perfect. 🙂 Plus synonym “meat.”: gist jist/ noun noun: gist; plural noun: gists 1. the substance or essence of a speech or text. “she noted the gist of each message” synonyms: essence, substance, central theme, heart of the matter, nub, kernel, marrow, meat, burden, crux; More 2. LAW the real point of an action. “damage is the gist of the action and without it the plaintiff must fail” Origin early 18th century: from Old French, third person singular present tense of gesir ‘to lie,’ from Latin jacere . The Anglo-French legal phrase cest action gist ‘this action lies’ denoted that there were sufficient grounds to proceed; gist was adopted into English denoting the grounds themselves (sense 2). ---

Thanx Joey P for a fast response! It was a Country/Western song…didn’t sound recent. Not “Pony” by Ginuwine… ---
