For some reason I cannot explain, Deadeye Dick's "New Age Girl" popped into my head, unbidden. Or, I should say, the part I remembered from middle school popped into my head: "She loves me so, she hates to be alone...she don't eat meat, but she sure likes the bone...  ... Mary Mooooooooon..."

I haven't heard the song in its entirety since I was maybe 11 or 12. I remember thinking it was SO NAUGHTY because SEX innuendo! So of course all my friends and I would sing it on the bus. All the time. That and Salt-n-Pepa's "Shoop" (which we sang incessantly and memorized entirely...I'm pretty sure I could still recite a good bit of it from memory if pressed).

I had to look the former up on YouTube, of course. To my surprise, it was not named "Mary Moon".
Man, what a stupid song. SO 1990s. Exactly the type of song a bunch of middle schoolers would love.

I think it may be on my ipod still...

I don't think as a kid I got that there were sexual innuendos in it. Man I must have been sheltered.

...but she sure likes the bone...

I definitely knew that was sexual, but I wasn't sure *exactly* what it meant.

I think at some point I thought that either they were talking about a dog or someone who liked the bone-in steaks.

This is what happens when you have not friends to let you know about slang and such at those tender ages. :(

I think the dog-like "ragh!" barking could have thrown you off, too. I'm pretty sure I first thought it was dog-related too--until otherwise informed.
