Big Long Slidin' Thing

Source: Here: "Well, the first time he played, I ask him how it was done. He said, 'Then I work my fingers and my thumb! I slide it right up, Then I slide it back again And I get a lot o' wind, And then I slide it back again!' That is my daddy With that big long sliding thing, oh yeah!"
- ALT1:... that "Big Long Slidin' Thing" by Dinah Washington (pictured) was rated as one of the greatest double entendre songs of all time? Source: Here: "The 19 greatest double entendre songs"

This article is new enough and long enough. The image is in the public domain, the hook facts are cited inline, the article is neutral and I detected no copyright issues. Either hook could be used but I prefer ALT1. A QPQ has been done. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 07:01, 10 November 2020 (UTC)
- @Cwmhiraeth: I am proposing to combine this with Template:Did you know nominations/Need a Little Sugar in My Bowl. What do you think? How would I go about merging the noms? Cbl62 (talk) 03:58, 16 November 2020 (UTC)
- I think it would be a mistake as you have currently got two brilliant hooks for this nomination. However, it would be possible to combine the others, I suppose. I think total viewership of the articles would be greater if they were listed separately, but it's your call. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:11, 16 November 2020 (UTC)

- @Cwmhiraeth: I thought about it overnight. I think alt1 is the one most likely to be feature, and it's so similar to the others that I belie a multi is the best way to present these. So I would like to withdraw this so that it can be merged into Template:Did you know nominations/Keep On Churnin' (Till the Butter Comes) which now includes all five songs. Thanks.
