The song "Makin' Sandwiches" by Redd Foxx tells a humorous story about a couple at a drive-in who witness some questionable activities in nearby cars. The man in the story cleverly explains to his girlfriend that the people in the other cars are simply "making sandwiches." This phrase is a euphemism for engaging in intimate activities. The second part of the song tells the tale of an adventurous cat who travels to Alaska and goes through a series of trials to become a citizen. The cat is challenged to drink a gallon of strong rum, kill a polar bear, and make love to an Eskimo woman. The cat successfully completes these challenges, showcasing his bravery and determination. Overall, the song is a playful and lighthearted take on the idea of making excuses and telling tall tales. It uses exaggerated scenarios and humor to entertain listeners while also highlighting themes of adventure and unconventional paths to success.
