Sounds to me like they were having a smokin' good time.
Any OF's out there that know what the guy was talking about?

Wrong. The song predates that porno movie by many years.
Back in the early fifties there was a pornographic story that was circulated on tattered and dog-eared mimeographed (go look it up) pages that was entitled "Behind the Green Door." Just about every teen aged boy in the US must have had a copy at some time or other in the mid-fifties.
The content, then, was quite lurid. Today it would not make a ripple on TV during the "family hour" in all probability.

Gee, this is educational - I didn't know there was a Green Door before Marilyn Chambers (of the Ivory Snow ads). And I never saw that flick, either.

I have never seen Ms Chambers's epic flick, but I have often wondered if the title was related to that dog-eared roll of yellowed pages that was every teen boy's erotic delight. The song and the story were roughly contemporaneous.
I did a quick search out of curiosity and found not a single link or reference to that story; all of the references to the song seem stuck on bars or honky-tonks. I suppose that coincidence is possible, even likely, yet I am, perforce, moved to wonder...
I wish I had that tatterdemalion roll of xanthus pages still. What a memory!
