You weren't wrong. It's not all about sex and drugs. It's only 95% about sex and drugs. I mean, think about that lyric list. Big Yellow Taxi isn't about sex and drugs. Not much, anyway.
Funny, when I was a teenager, I had a rule that I would only say things I knew to be true. After many years, I learned that I did not follow this rule. That was a strange epiphany.
Oh, I don't know. The dramatic overtones in "Baby Got Back" by Sir Mix-a-lot create a sense of parosody within the natural language construction of the advanced meter placement without direct regard to polysyllabic metaphor. The character creation and subsequent deconstruction through conceptual modeling of the dialogue evolution creates an effective thematic structure to encompass the allegorical allusion to intertexuality.

sex and drugs and rock and roll
That covers the bulk of Rock N' Roll. Hmm. Most of the rest can be covered with other lyrics:
Bring Lawyers, Guns and Money.
White punks on dope.
Yep... been there, done that. Don't feel bad. I used to argue that Freddie Mercury wasn't gay.
hey! Stop laughing!
