Old songs used to tell little stories, mini melodramas that could be sexy without uttering a single suggestive word. They let your own mind arouse your erotic imagination.
And at the same time the songs could be comical, poking fun at how a man goes all loosey-goosey over a woman who is just toying with him for her own amusement. They didn't take themselves, nor us, seriously. It was all just for a good time. Plus every song had a righteous beat and you could dance to it.
