But then something funny happened. The singers had changed the lyrics of the number and thus cleverly sidestepped the entire controversy altogether.

Gee, changing the sexes. Why didn't the people who wrote the song think of that. Oh, wait... (Ya gotta love the little penis-flowers in the lower left of the screen in the Montalban-Williams part. Censor that, Will Hays!)

The "song" is not just a lyric. It's the sung dialogue of a scene in a movie, in which it's pretty clear that everything that happens is consensual participation in a mating ritual. "My sister will worry"? Really? If you don't get the irony of "At least I'm going to say that I tried," you don't understand how humans interact. Did you miss the part where she lights one more cigarette on her own? Did he "ply her with tobacco" too?

Now, if you want a rapey song, I suggest this one.
