You damn right I'm a purist on this thread.
Big Mama's original version has a darker overtone within the storytelling that was consider too suggestive for some listeners. Given that she was openly lesbian, it was a surprise that the person Big Mama was dissing in the song was a man. | |

It wasn't a surprise to me that she was both lesbian and she was singing it to a man. | |
