I see in the latest issue of “Rolling Stone” that Bryan Adams’ “Summer of '69” is about the sexual position. Blew me away. Did anyone else miss the meaning because they couldn’t believe Mr. Squeaky-Clean, Mr. All-American (Canadian) Boy would write such a song?
While the possible double meaning was never lost on me, I never thought the song was actually about that. Does Bryan admit this then? The lyrics don’t really seem to bear out any sexual innuendo, IMHO.
Frankly, that’s the silliest thing I ever heard.
Oh yeah. Totally.
“I played it 'till my fingers bled” is a reference to masturbation, too.
Really.
And Black Pearl is totally about coprophilia.
The item in “Rolling Stone” says that Adams confessed in an online interview. It doesn’t say if Adams sounded sarcastic as he confessed.
So, that means his “first real six string” is … 
And…he bought it at the five and dime? :eek:
Eh, this was just a desperate attempt to make Bryan Adams interesting. 
Well, I KNEW the song couldn’t have been a genuine musical autobiography, because Bryan Adams was only 10 years old in the Summer of 1969!
However, even though I heard hundreds of jokes about that song, I was inclined to believe that he had either:
-
written the song for an older, established artist who HAD been old enough to have a band of his own in 1969.
-
used “Summer of '69” in the lyrics because it provided the syllables and the rhyme he needed to make the song work.
Well, duh! When’s the last time there was an interesting Canadian?
runs, very fast
I think it’s just a song showing us how Bryan was rockin’ out, makin’ out, breakin’ out even as early as '69 …when he was 10.
