the doors

discovered the doors while trudging through my brother's music collection, and came across a song called 'back door man'.
after laughing a little, i decided to do some research into the meaning of the song. but here are the lyrics, read for yourself:
Oh, yeah, ma
Yeah, I'm a back door man
I'm a back door man
The men don't know
But the little girl understand
Hey, all you people that trying to sleep
I'm out to make it with my midnight dream, yeah
'Coz I'm a back door man
The men don't know
But the little girls understand
All right, yeah
You men eat your dinner
Eat your pork and beans
I eat more chicken any man ever seen, yeah, yeah
I'm a back door man
The men don't know
But the little girl understand
Well, I'm a back door man
I'm a back door man
Oh, baby, I'm a back door man
The men don't know
But the little girls understand



Anywho, apparently it was originally by Willie Dixon and is about a secret lover who sneaks in through the back door of his lover's house while her husband goes out the front door. most people said it was not a gay innuendo but i couldn't help stumbling across the lines 'i eat more chicken than any man ever seen' and 'the little girls understand'. i am yet to see how these relate to cheating on your husband.
