The competition for scummiest asshole in Florida is so crowded it has to be held in categories, like drag races. In the congressional class, while Anna Paulina Luna is giving him a run for his money, Matt Gaetz still reigns supreme. While the Department of Justice has dropped its sex-trafficking investigation against him, former Rep. Kevin McCarthy hasn’t proved so easy to slough off.
McCarthy is reportedly the one behind the House Ethics Committee’s ongoing investigation, which has obtained texts that allegedly show Gaetz setting up a trip with a young woman that his associate paid for sex. By itself that doesn’t prove anything, but Gaetz’ preference for, um, inexperienced women is well-established by this point. So this song’s for him.
The song, written by Doc Pomus, Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller, was the Coasters’ first hit, released in 1957. Their version reached No. 8 on Billboard’s Hot 100 and No. 1 on the R&B chart. Bad Company’s cover, released as a single in 1976, made it to No. 20 on the Hot 100.
