.  I have a Capitol record by Kay Starr called Steady Daddy.  Would 
presume it was recorded at least 50 years ago, maybe more, but--------I 
was dumbfounded by the  lyrics!  Even by todays standards, it seems 
pretty racy.  I can't imagine how it got  recorded  back then, unless 
the censors were so naïve to not recognize what I  am hearing now. Or 
maybe  it's a case of the old joke which has the punch line, "Don't 
blame me, you're the one drawing the dirty pictures".  The record is 
Capitol 2718Z,  says Blues Vocal with Orchestra, Steady Daddy (Vernon 
White) Kay Starr with Dave Cavanaugh's music, featuring  Red Norvo, 
vibes:  Arnold Ross, Piano:  Jack Marshall, guitar.   It's a song  about 
  a woman telling a man "you know what I like, take it slow", etc. 
What does anyone know about  this record?  The flip side is So Tired, 
which only says Kay Starr with Orchestra.

It was good enough for Mae West, and Julia Lee who was recording similar 
material for Capitol at the time.

As you can see it was also issued on V-Disc, so I doubt if it corrupted 
the troops, although they were probably fed bromide!
