Interesting trivia. Did seem a little on the kinky side for that era. Lyrics by a jew and a black dude,

Sinatra was correct, it's about two faggots hooking up. Even if it's about two heterosexuals hooking up, it's immoral. He disparaged the song on both points.

I've always liked it and from the days when I didn't know what a faggot was.
