That was kind of like an episode of "Leave It To Beaver."

I thought I picked up on some sexually charged "innuendo," but I'm not sure.

I think I may have picked up on one or two double entendres, but that might just be my dirty mind reading a lewd meaning into something that's completely innocent...

Yeah, me too. I think it's an old privileged white man thing. We see potential sex jokes in everything. Anyway, I thought the video might be a nice journey back into the good old days. A time when men were manly and women knew how to cook.

Why did I flash back to the Smothers Brothers' performance of "My Old Man"?
You know the song —

My old man's a sailor, what do you think about that?
He wears a sailor's collar, he wears a sailor's hat.
He wears a sailor's raincoat, he wears a sailor's shoes,
And every Saturday evening, he reads the Sunday news.
And someday, if I can,
I'm gonna be a sailor — just like my old man.

After 'sailor', Dicky sings about his father being an anthropologist, and Tommy counters with lyrics about his father the refrigerator repairman.
After he concludes, Tommy turns to Dicky and boasts, "How about that?  You've got to be pretty sharp-witted and slippery-tongued to say something like that!"  So Dicky launches into...

"My old man's a cotton-pickin' finger-lickin' chicken plucker — what do you think about that?"

Pause for a moment, then Tommy chuckles and says, "You'd better not make a mistake!!"
