Harry Roy, My Girl’s Pussy | Midnight Heat 🕛 🔥

In the 80th edition of Midnight Heat 🕛 🔥 (2024), we explore the naughty, sexy vibes behind “My Girl’s Pussy” by Harry Roy.

Ah, bring on Midnight Heat 🕛 🔥! Wait – it is not usually hot at midnight! Well, it is steaming hot 🥵 at midnight when it comes to this naughty, innuendo, and sex-laden column featuring songs intended for nighttime. We are talking about that after-dark type $hi†, ya dig? These risqué, unapologetic records often raise eyebrows and temperature alike. In the 80^th edition of Midnight Heat (2024), we explore the naughty, sexy vibes behind, “My Girl’s Pussy” by Harry Roy..

“There’s one pet I like to pet / And every evening we get set…” What does evening have to do with it, Harry Roy (1900 – 1971)? The British bandleader, clarinetist, composer, and vocalist continues singing, “I stroke it every chance I get / It’s my girl’s pussy.” Holy sugar honey iced tea! Things escalate on “My Girl’s Pussy” which was recorded by Harry Roy & His Orchestra back in 1931 🤯. As seen with Lucille Bogan on songs like “Shave ‘Em Dry” and “Till the Cows Come Home”, innuendo-heavy, highly sexual music, isn’t brand new.  Roy was singing about female private parts long before Sexyy Red informed us about her “coochie pink, [her] booty-hole brown”.

“My Girl’s Pussy” features cat sounds (meow) near the beginning because, of course, it does 😏.  Again, Harry Roy references both kinds of cats. Gotta love a mean double entendre! Still, he takes the most pleasure from her pussy. “Seldom plays and never purrs / And I love the thoughts it stirs,” he sings, adding, “But I don’t mind because it’s hers / My girl’s pussy.” Oh my! Other eyebrow-raising lyrics include the cat’s ‘consistency’ – “It’s always nice and warm.” Also, this cat’s “the best I’ve ever seen,” hence the stroking at every given opportunity. MEOW! “My Girl’s Pussy” is far less explicit than 21^st-century sex songs.  There are no ‘curse words’ but still, the mere mention of pussy incites dirty thoughts, not a sweet, innocent, and fluffy pet.  The recording isn’t great quality – it is from 1931, after all – but it’s not the least bit hard to decipher those shocking pussy references.  Harry Roy, you were something else!
