In late 1979, a song started airing on the radio that made me immediately think of Donald Duck and his rambunctious nephews, Huey Dewey and Louie, because whenever I heard it, it sounded like the girl was saying:
He was singing
“And I’m Dewey…
And I’m Dewey…
…Delacie!
I’m Dewey DeLacie!”
I laughingly told my friends “Dunno who this Dewey DeLacie guy is, but in MY mind I'm imagining that she’s singing about Dewey Duck!” We all laughed and from that point on, we’d all sing those words over the song whenever it came on! LOL
The SONG, as it turns out, was the Fleetwood Mac song “Sara”, written and sung by Stevie Nicks from their 1979 album "Tusk" ...
.... and unlike the very silly Disney lyrics I THOUGHT Stevie was singing, I was to later find out that the words were ACTUALLY:
He was singing
and undoing
and undoing
the laces
undoing the laces
These lyrics were referring to her infamous fling with the Eagles Don Henley, her pregnancy and their would be daughter Sara (if Stevie had decided to keep the child). BOY, to go from Dewey Duck acknowledging himelf to a song about a man serenading a girl while undressing her was quite a 180 degree twist!…and quite a bit darker than I thought!
"Sara" excerpt:
Fleetwood Mac would become one of my favorite groups of all time and the `978 album “Tusk” a classic, but even though I now know the lyrics and song well, there are times when it STILL sounds like she’s singing about Donald Duck’s nephew!
