In this 1970s song, Del Reeves manages to turn a list of Major League Baseball team names into a song about girls. I took a moment to look up the word “filly,” which I somehow had never heard before. It turns out that a filly is a young female horse — essentially the female version of a colt.
If I remember correctly, the Phillies’ ball girls in the early 70’s wore hot pants, and they may have been called the Fillies.
As an aside, dude’s wearin’ a puffy shirt. C’mon, man.
Fascinating on the Fillies. Google isn’t giving me much on that front, but I’ll have to keep looking.
And yeah, I’m not feeling the shirt either.
I was pretty much willing to wear whatever my wife wanted at the wedding, but drew the line at a puffy shirt.
Cute song.
