A double entendre is a word or phrase that has two meanings, and can often be used a humorous fashion. This tends to happen quite a bit in music.

Sometimes it’s in the lyrics of the chorus of a song, or sometimes the title of a song or album can have a double meaning. Let’s create a playlist of songs that mean one thing…or another.

So for today’s 9:30 Coffee Break, what songs with a double meaning would you like to hear?

(Nil’s note~ The Tuesday after Thanksgiving is known as Giving Tuesday, and is a time to support nonprofits you care about. You can become a member of the Current right here. And, thank you.)
