** Much of the song could be a Take That to MGM and MGM stars. Peggy Dayton is likely an expy of Esther Williams. Both Ava Gardner and Lassie starred in several MGM films. The reference to "a fella hugged his partner as they cuddled cheek to cheek" is a reference to Fred Astaire himself ("Cheek to Cheek" was an earlier number of his from TopHat), while the reference to a ballet dancer is aimed at Gene Kelly.
