Before recently, I had never actually heard of a song from the 70s called "Chevy Van"... I discovered this song in a Facebook group called Everything 70s. Man, the folks who were born in the 60s had all the fun!
Apparently, it was released by Sammy Johns in 1973...
This song is about a guy who picks up a hitchhiking chick and gets laid in his Chevy Van. Remember, this was when people didn't care about sexually transmitted infections. It sounds like the woman was a bit loose and he was game. And she clearly didn't think he meant to rape her, either. To be sure, he was a gentleman. A horny gentleman for sure, but a gentleman nonetheless.
Would this song be a hit today? I don't think so. It's a song from a bygone era. Since I was alive when it was a hit, I feel pretty ancient. But I guess the lady wanted to thank her benefactor properly by giving him a hummer in his van.
The things I think about on Monday mornings... Now I'm going to have "Chevy Van" stuck in my head all day.
