Like everyone else, sometimes I need a little Donna Summer in my life, so I was listening to the 70's channel on XM on the way home from work this morning, when on comes a song I somehow managed to miss during the actual 70's. It's called "Push push in the bush", and it was equal parts appalling and fascinating. According to Keith, who was much

When that song came out I was working at a bank and the manager liked to dance around the office singing "Push push in the bush". (When the doors were locked. He wasn't that crazy.) This was decades before anyone heard of sexual harassment in the workplace; good thing, because he really was adorable, bumping and grinding around the lobby.

I just can't imagine that song inspiring anyone to do anything remotely sexual, but it would probably be highly amusing watching my boss trying to dance to it.

For some reason, I listened to the radio intermittently throughout the early to mid 1970s. Which meant that from one six-month period, I'd recognize every tune, but from the next, I'd know only the stuff they kept on playing after it stopped being a current hit. Weird, huh?

That's the long way of saying, I never heard of "push push in the bush" until now.

OTOH, I remember when "Ode to Billy Joe" was originally a hit, back in ~1968, when Bobbie Gentry performed it. My best guess: they were throwing their baby off the bridge.

Their baby hmmmm...interesting theory. I was thinking it was a body of some kind, but a baby makes sense.
