Birthday Suit - The California Honeydrops

Birthday Suit - The California Honeydrops
2:32
single, 2023
Written by the California Honeydrops

A novelty song of sorts, a silly softly sung acoustic ditty.  The narrator wants to be buried naked, as that's the suit he feels most comfortable in.  "Anyway they’ve all been dying to know / Just how I held onto a girl like you."  The implication, of course, is that the narrator may be, under his clothes, packing more than he appears.  That's how he caught (and kept) the girl, presumably.  Except the punchline comes later: "All illusions will be shattered / And the truth plain to see / But I’ll be dead so I don’t care who’s there laughing at me."  So how did he get that girl, then?
