Norah and Dolly's double-E'sMusic

Part-desi songstress Norah Jones and Dolly Parton teamed up for 'Creepin' In' on Jones' album Feels Like Home. Ennis notes that the lyrics can be read as coarse double entendres:

There's a big old hole
Goes right through my soul
Oh that ain't nothin' new

So as long as you're around
I got no place else you've found
There's only one thing left for you to do

Just creep on in
Creep on in
Creep on in

There's a silver moon 
Came a little too soon 
Oh for me to bear 
It shines brightly on my bed and the shadow's over head 
Won't let me sleep as long as it's there

And once you have begun don't stop until you're done 
Sneakin' in...

But then, Ennis is a long-time Norah perv, seeking filth in that innocent hit 'Don't Know Why':

I feel as empty as a drum
I don't know why I didn't come

For shame, dude. Jazz, that last bastion of civility, has always been wholesome and clean.
