I've just been listening to Charlene's - I've Never Been To Me" played on the radio - for the younger ones among you, Charlene got to number one in June 1982 with this amusing little ballad.
However the lyrics were weird to say the least, and one particular line has always foxed me.
Halfway through the song Charlene sings
"I've been undressed by Kings
And I've seen some things
That a woman ain't s'posed to see"
Well, what kind of things would that be then? I've puzzled over this for many years - did she mean something like the internal workings of the combustion engine (hey - sexist, i can hear you all shouting) or did she mean something completely different, like the ugly backside of her man 1st thing in the morning....
Just what exactly are things that a woman ain't supposed to see?
I'd welcome your comments...all of you....
Hahaha, Superb post, Given that in 1982 we didn't have the internet we can pretty sure it wasn't Redtube that she had seen, I love the internal combustion engine idea though - superb!
