Wait, hold the phone. I like the song "In The Summertime" as well, but "Have a drink, have a drive..." and the very line you quoted above stand out. The song has sexist and even class-based fundamentals. "In the summertime, you got women on your mind." Okay, for about 50% of humans. Then the next line is about committing DWI to find women. If said woman has a well-off father, then you need to pay for a meal before you, ahem, "see what you can find". Otherwise, she's part of the 99% and you may "do what you feel". Do I have to tear this apart any farther? It's not innocent. "Hey, date rape song! Let's sing along."
