The song seems to be from the viewpoint of a guy who is in love with a woman that tends to date older men--old enough to be her "uncles." She uses them as sugar daddies to get money and gifts. Discovering this fact quells his desire for her.
This was the first EC song I ever heard, and was immediately taken with oddness and hilarity of the first two lines. What do they mean? I have long thought it might be about Bebe Buell and seeing her pictures in the papers. But I don't really know.
BTW, the correct title of the song is "Men Called Uncle." It was incorrectly spelled on first vinyl editions of Get Happy!
