Clearly that song was Jimmy Buffett.

Rupert Holmes - Escape (The Piña Colada Song)
It’s about 2 spouses planning to cheat on each other because they’re bored with their marriage. The only thing that saves them is he responds to her personal ad in the newspaper and they laugh about it after meeting up. They’re shitty people

Oh, yeah. Another one is Sad Eyes by Robert John, telling his his temp girl that his real girl is coming home today, she knew it was going to happen and he doesn’t want to see her cry. “I never used you,” lol.
There are quite a few of them. One that’s been in the news lately is Lola by The Kinks, which Moby called unenlightened and he’s right. One I always found creepy was Cat Stevens’ Wild World saying goodbye to his lady, because whatever he’s wishing her it’s not well. “I’ll always remember you like a child, girl.”
That’s not even starting with all the underage lyrics.
The 70s were amazing for music, but there sure are some clunkers in there.
