I did a little research. This song is originally from the 1977 Broadway Musical 'I Love My Wife' written by Cy Coleman and Michael Stewart. It's about two couples wanting to try wife-swapping and group sex. 'Anything goes' indeed.
I bet Rock Hudson inspired a very different version of "Fanny and Alexander"... "The Magic Flute"... "Cries and Whispers"...
I'm going to go transcribe this song now, and mow some grass.
JB: That one put me on the floor. There have got to be gay, straight, bi, and transgender porn versions of all those titles in the dusty VHS bin of some Adult Bookstore somewhere. Then there's the porn version of Antonioni's "L'Eclisse," which I'm told features a lot of mooning...

Correction: one Gay Icon, and an Icon of Gays.
Get it straight(!).
Was Hudson in a Bergman film or something? The little boy in "The Magician"?

Jonathan B.: Perhaps you are thinking of Bea Arthur. I believe she starred in Bergman's "Sawdust and Golden Girls." Or was it "Summers With Maude"?
