In that Wikipedia article, you'll see that Mustang Sally was released by Mack Rice in May, 1965 and again in 1966 by Wilson Pickett. "According to music historian Tom Shannon the song started as a joke when singer Della Reese wanted a new Ford Mustang. Rice called the early version "Mustang Mama" but changed the title after Aretha Franklin suggested "Mustang Sally".[5] The song is influenced by the children's game song (recorded by various artists) "Little Sally Walker", versions of which include the lyrics "Rise Sally rise, wipe your weepin' eyes", with variations." Once again, white people making big money off black people's music. |

| The Lou Reed lyrics are much more offensive than the original lyrics. In this one sounds like she's about to get gang-raped. He's obviously talking about a party where she is expected to be the entertainment. | |

| @[laura10140:25864] Impossible. The song was written in 1965. Sally Ride became an astronaut in 1978. Look both facts up on Wikipedia. | |
