Tuesday Tune Two-Fer: Summer of Not Pulling Your Love Out

The end of this week will mark another year of my inexorable decay and decline towards oblivion, so I thought it’d be fun to celebrate by finding some songs that were released in my birth month.

As it turns out, old age doesn’t necessarily bring with it maturity, since I thought the available list of songs was hilarious, full of hopefully unintentional double entendres. Normally when I say “that sounds like a porno!” I do a quick Google check to see whether it is, but I can pretty much guarantee that every one of these titles has been used for an adult film without even looking.

In addition to honorable mention “Don’t Pull Your Love Out” by Hamilton, Joe Frank & Reynolds, there’s the catchiest song of the month, “Mr. Big Stuff” by Jean Knight.

And it pairs perfectly with the masterpiece “Double Lovin’” by the Osmonds. Every time I’m tempted to think that I’m not really that old, it’s a reality check to remember that back then, you could have the whitest, Mormonest family imaginable doing Motown leftovers from the Jackson 5, and they could be preposterously successful with it.

I’m sure they knew exactly what they were doing, but it’s a lot more fun to imagine that they were blissfully unaware of the implications of:

Double, double lovin’ makes
You feel so good inside
And when I double up on my lovin’
You’re gonna be satisfied
