Dirty lyrics that technically aren't

[richlevy]

I was listening to the oldest version of Shake, Rattle and Roll by Big Joe Turner, when he sang these lyrics.

I'm like a one-eyed cat,
peepin' in a sea-food store,
I'm like a one-eyed cat,
peepin' in a sea-food store;
I can look at you,
till you don't love me no more.

Now maybe I just have a dirty mind, but it seems to me that there is a very lewd interpretation of those lines.

Back in the day when there were censors, it was almost a game what artists would try to sneak past them. The Blues was very earthy music, and when it started moving to the mainstream I'm sure some changes were made. Still, a lot of songs had more than one meaning.
