Just Because Music — Village People’s In the Navy
I’m simultaneously trying to get an appellate brief ready for file (a good one, that Don Quixote wrote) and help my husband with a speech he has to give to a large group at work. Blogging will have to wait a little.
While I was doing all this work, however, I heard the Village People sing In the Navy, and was struck by what a pro-Navy song it is. Back in the 1970s, when it came out, I never actually listened to the lyrics. Instead, I simply assumed that, because the group had a gay theme (although not all of them were gay), the song was a nudge-nudge, wink-wink, about floating gay nookie. In fact, the lyrics are remarkably nice about the Navy itself. Check it out:
