Hi Folks,
Back in the day (ie the 1950's) I used to listen to, mainly, cover versions, by British artists, of songs first recorded by USA artists. Most of the slang terms were unfathomable to my young ears (ie Flat Top = a type of hair style). This includes a lot of the early recordings by Cliff and The Shadows. Nowdays I can understand most of the old idioms, but the following still puzzles me:-
In the song "Little Deuce Coupe" by The Beach Boys, there is the line "There's one more thing, I got the pink slip Daddy".
The song is, I believe, about car racing. I cannot work out what, in this context, is a "pink slip daddy".
If anyone can help with an answer, I would be most grateful.
Kindest regards (and the compliments of the season)
Christopher
