It is considered a classic of garage rock. ==Description== The song is a mock paean to the city of Boston and its then-famously polluted Boston Harbor and Charles River. Its Boston and Charles River references are reportedly based on an experience of Cobb and his girlfriend with a mugger in Boston in the mid-1960s.〔O'Nan, Stewart, and Stephen King. ''Faithful: Two Diehard Boston Red Sox Fans Chronicle the Historic 2004 Season.'' (Note that this book incorrectly refers to The Standells as a Boston proto-punk group, rather than a California garage band.)〕 In addition to the river, other local interest items in the song include the Boston University women's curfew — "Frustrated women ... have to be in by twelve o'clock" — and a passing mention of the Boston Strangler — "have you heard about the Strangler? (I'm the man I'm the man)." Boston is also home to Simmons College, a women's college that, like many such institutions, had a curfew for students. There is disagreement regarding the identity of the "frustrated women". In a city with many colleges and universities, as well as a large Navy presence (historically), it could be purposefully unspecific. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Dirty Water」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
