My wife and I were laughing as I played this song to demonstrate our youngest daughter's attitude about this to show how far we've come.
Her thought would be: "I Stalk him I stalk him I stalk him"
This really demonstrates how different younger people's values are now. Then when the song was written being faithful forever to your man was an admirable quality. Now, you might be considered to be a female stalker to have this attitude now.
Another song like this was for boys:

This above one is: "Pretty Blue Eyes" by Steve Lawrence.
This also would be considered a stalking song now too. Is all this good or bad?
I think it all depends upon whether you want someone obsessing about you or not.
Then and now it's mostly about: "Do you want this person to be giving you attention or not?"
My youngest daughter who would consider both songs: "STALKING SONGS"
asked me yesterday: "Did you need therapy in the 1970s?"
I said, "YES. But I didn't get counseling help that much until I was in my late 30s. Why? Because I couldn't afford to do that before then when I was trying to stay married to my 2nd wife."
I was telling her about what my 20s were like and all the girls I dated from age 15 to 25 and how I was dating all these girls because mostly I was traumatized by whooping cough and a Concussion that gave me night time seizures for about 5 years from age 10 to 15 and from leaving my childhood church at age 21 which also made me suicidal in various ways. So, dating helped keep me alive because though I couldn't stay alive for myself I could stay alive for the girls who were in love with me. I felt this loyalty to them that if they were in love with me I could stay alive for them. I think many young men during the Viet Nam War were like this too and many died for various reasons too.
Mostly I was lucky because I couldn't off myself because of my loyalty to my parents and my girlfriends and my friends and relatives between the ages of 18 and 25. By 26 I was married and a Dad so I didn't hav to worry about all that then because life wasn't about me anymore it was about raising my son and financially supporting my wife.
