Is the song "Windy" by the Association about a mentally challenged woman?

[quote]why would they write a song about a mentally challenged woman.

I know, right?

Yes R1, they should leave you alone, please leave you alone, yes leave you alone, won't they leave you alone ... and on and on and on

Thanks for the memories, OP. I'd forgotten Windy, but now you've transported me back to my 70s grade school chorus room having to sing this hippy dippy song.

Windy was gassy.

I don’t know how anybody can forget “Windy” when it was the music played during one of the most memorable set piece musical sequences in “Breaking Bad,” featuring everyone’s favorite meth whore, Wendy.

The album cover is nice.

R5, I didn't watch Breaking Bad.

But Windy has Stormy Eyes ……

I always thought she was on LSD.

Windy was no Cindy

Dummy, that was Ruby Red Dress, not Angie Baby

I actually remember whole parts of this song and I havent heard it in decades.

Thanks so much for the correction R11 - Ruby of course was the one who took her love to town whilst looking for a mysterious dark-haired man.

Everyone at DL knows it’s Wundy

Fruit of the Loom undies had a jingle: whose underwear is under there?

So I always sing those words to Windy’s melody.

Years ago when I’m bought my iPhone 8 (?) at Costco, the vendor clerk was named Windy, and she was pregnant.

tt's about a gay man with inflammatory bowels.

Everyone knows she's gassy

And Gassy has lots of gas

She passes out of her ass

And gassy has wings to fan

Her gassy can, her gassy can, her gassy can

Of course it's about a crazy lady

I agree a real nutter

Don't forget me

Angie R20 your memory from R1 must have shrunk when you turned the sound down.

"—Angie Baby"

Is this about me?...

[quote] why would they write a song about a mentally challenged woman?

OP -- "They" (The Association) didn't write the song.

A woman named Ruthann Friedman wrote the song. She originally said that it was written about a man. This is explained in the wiki article. And apparently, it is known that the band changed it to be about a woman. Some time later, she seemed to realize it was about herself?

She was living with David Crosby at the time, so yeah, drugs could have been involved, R9.

Every one of you need to be spanked for not linking to the song.

^ You mean like the link in Op's original post? Are you Ok?

Who’s struttin' down the runways of Weho

Spreadin her skirt for the mens at San B?

Who’s got a bulge the size of a mango?

Everyone knows it's Wundy

@r23, " She originally said that it was written about a man. "

I guess, "...everyone knows it's Bob" didn't have the same ring to it 🙄

r25 well, shit. I was distracted by the poll.

I love this bouncy song!

^ Sure, I'll have another drink as long as you're pouring

This song is about meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

Windy was no Georgy Girl.

"Years ago when I’m bought my iPhone 8 (?) at Costco, the vendor clerk was named Windy, and she was pregnant."

What about Brandy? Now there was a fine girl.

^ Brandy was no "Diana" until she became "Dirty Diana"

^ Dirty Diana taught Roxanne how to turn on the red light

That has to be the ugliest band in existence at Op's link. And that's when they were young and supposedly in their prime. (Although I would have done the Benedict Cumberbatch lookalike up in the right corner.)

It’s about a kiwi woman called Wendy.

@r36, The Association were no Beach Boys, that's for sure 🤪

And yet she doesn't even show up in this list.

You are quite wrong R37. This song was about the bands life changing encounter with Wundy. "Who's trippin' down the streets of the city" is alleged to have been written as "who's tricking down the street at San B? However, a lot was lost when it had to be changed for radio airplay. Most Wundy scholars will agree however the verse "Who's callin' girls fabu and pretti?, Using a voice that's lighter than air! Who's bendin' down to give me a great bow! Everyone knows it's Wundy!" was the band's original lyrics.

^ I thought it was about Bob. What about Bob?

You're all wrong, it's about me... Mango

First it was Wendy

But then along comes Mary

PROUD Mary!

Mary! Mary!
