Porter wondered whether Clark Gable would object to his name being used in the song, in which it is implied that Gable is one of Lois's lovers ("Mister Gable, I mean Clark / Wants me on his boat to park").Gable was delighted upon hearing the song, along with his name's being mentioned in the lyric.
