This song was on the radio when I was in high school, We thought it was so gay .
One of the kids we hung around with was named Bill, so we started calling him" My Girl........Bill"
Always with that long pause between My Girl and Bill. Now every time I hear this song I just laugh.

Maximum air-lift collar !

Ah, the importance of punctuation: It should have a comma and be "My Girl, Bill."
Just like it should be "Come on, Eileen." The lack of a comma gives the phrase a totally different meaning!

I loved listening to this song when I was a kid, it always made me smile. Why did it make me smile? Because it was one of those songs where I could be myself through most of the thing and then at the very last minute go "Ha, I got you bitches!"

to respond to mrsgtd per my comment. I know it got airplay, a lot of airplay. It was banned from the major corporate owned radio stations until they understood the song. The Jim Stafford televsion show presented it for what it was. Just to let you know, local radio stations in some markets never did play it.

@jimbobsebring I don't think it was ever banned. It got heavy airplay in the summer of '74 and I remember him doing it on TV and everyone laughing. Now days he'd get all kinds of flack. It was all done in humor, something people have lost sight of since the 1990s.

**Happy, Down To Earth Lyrics We Can All Understand**"
I said now Bill, we just left her place--and we both know what she said--she said she doesn't wanna see your face--and she wishes you were DEAD!"
Do we wonder why Bill loves her so? He's a masochist and enjoys rejection, pain and humiliation. Lots of people like Bill out there; and I don't get it...
I love this; the lyrics are so clever.

@CplLaibowitz. The FCC has never banned songs or anything else. They do not have a Censorship Office. Never have. If any song or show didn't get air time it was the decision of individual radio and television stations.
