Dont't worry. That was absolutely Super Classy Top-boppop! Both
of them.

Sorry Millie-em. A laughing fit made me slip off-key; I guess that's where the cheery came into the cherry. Blame it on me
(I know they're all going to say it wasn't me so what...)
and never mind firing us; it saves us a breach of contract. We have better offers going.

You still have Faldage for your special effects.

'Allo, Bel.

I can't help but think that if those lyrics about boyfriends and lollypops had been written in a more recent decade, they'd be of questionable meaning.

Though not being Bel, I'd like to remark that in these more recent decades there's hardly a word left that is not of questionable meaning.
Maybe that's called decadence.

I dunno, I'm sure we're not the ones that invented, um, well, you know (wink-wink-nudge-nudge), so it had to have an inuendo-ish quality back then too, na.

in·nu·en·does
1. An indirect or subtle, usually derogatory implication in expression; an insinuation.

Oh, I had to find inuendo , got directed to innuendo and got the meaning. I don't know, I guess we were pretty ingenuendoes in those days.

usually derogatory???

Hmmm. How odd. I always heard it to mean "slighly racy in a sexual way".

I got there via OneLook - dictionnary/ thesaurus.
There's only 4 results for inuendo.
Well, what does it matter. I had a riot laughing lunchbreak today!
