It was a huge jam around here too!
I never heard of any controversy, as it was 1982, and Toni Basil had her #1 hit "Mickey" with it's highly sexually suggestive lyrics
"Any way you wanna do it, i'll take it like a man". Read whatever you want into that.
But, the other new song on that greatest hits album was "The People Next Door", where he sings about hearing the two lesbian lovers next door making him horny:
"makin' strange noises, sounds like a choo-choo train."
I have my theories. But, it also makes me wonder why the Marvin Gaye estate doesn't go after Ed Sheeran. His hit "Thinking Out Loud" is a direct rip off of Gaye's "Let's Get It On". But, I digress...
