“Summer of ‘69”, by Bryan Adams, has been subject to various interpretations. Many believe it is a nostalgic ode to the year in which Adams learned guitar, fell in love, and played in a band. Indeed, Adams told In The Studio, on the 25th anniversary of Reckless, that the song concerned the theme of nostalgia for the year 1969 in which the “cultural revolution” took place, The Beatles broke up, the moon landing took place, and he discovered music.

However, in the summer of 1969, Bryan Adams was just 10 years old so it is rather impossible for the song to be about Adams finding music, women and himself. In actual fact, the song is about Bryan Adams’ preferred sexual position, the “69”. Indeed, when Adams appeared on The Early Show in 2008 and was questioned about the lyrical meaning of “Summer of ‘69”, he revealed it concerned his favourite sexual position. Adams said that they lyrics concerning a fondly remembered musical summer were mostly just filler as the song in actuality concerned “making love in the summertime”.
