Here is a topic I've been meaning to post.
One popular theme in certain jazz bands 1928-30 was the topic of sexual endurance. It started with the song "Four Or Five Times"...Next was the bradaggio of "Six Or Seven Times"....And the inevitable backlash and quite humorous parody in "Once Or Twice" (and that featuring the wonderful Andy Kirk band).
Here they are:
Four Or Five Times The Chocolate Dandies (as The Little Aces)(OKeh 41136; mtx 401221-A; NY, 10/13/28)
Six Or Seven Times The Chocolate Dandies (Parlophone A7483; 9/18/29)
Once Or Twice Andy Kirk and His Twelve Clouds of Joy (Br 4863; mtx C-4480-B; Chicago, 5/1/30)

Re: Four Or Five Times?
Which topic, a little over 20 years later, would be revisited with songs like 'Sixty minute man' by the Dominoes.
I'll have to add my records of a couple of the above songs. I've got 'Four or five times' by McKinney's Cotton Pickers on Victor and 'Six or seven times' as done by Cab Calloway and his ork on Perfect (originally on Brunswick).
