“Nothing Could Be Finer”

Nothing could be finer than to be in her vagina in the mornin’,

Nothing could be sweeter than to crawl right in and eat her in the morn.

Nothin could be greater than to screw and masturbate her in the mornin’,

Nothing’s so enormous as to have a little clitoris in the mornin’.

“The situation was the same as the first item, myself and the informant were just sitting around drinking beer with some other kids and after being asked about the first song he proceeded to sing this one without being asked. I had heard him sing this one before also and usually in conjunction with the first one. This song was included in his claimed original works and was part of the question about the meaning of the songs to which he replied that I should know by how and that he wouldn’t tell me. This is also just an obscene song used by the informant to act younger and not be the fatherly type to the kids that are in this group of friends.”

The meaning behind this song definitely pulls from the perspective of tradition, and male bonding. The song’s creativity holds the values of today’s college male, thus revealing an in-depth insight into the male culture in college. It adds to the reflection of good times within this culture (college life) and definitely should be considered folklore, despite some vulgarity.
