Topic: Jailhouse Rock is about an outbreak of homosexuality at a prison

It's in the lyrics. Also consider that "rock and roll" was supposed to be a euphamism for fuckin.
The warden threw a party in the county jail
The prison band was there and they began to wail
The band was jumpin' and the joint began to swing
You should've heard them knocked out jailbirds sing
Let's rock, everybody, let's rock
Everybody in the whole cell block
Was dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock
Spider Murphy played the tenor saxophone
Little Joe was blowin' on the slide trombone
The drummer boy from Illinois went crash, boom, bang
The whole rhythm section was the Purple Gang [purple helmets?]
Let's rock, everybody, let's rock
Everybody in the whole cell block
Was dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock
Number forty-seven said to number three
You're the cutest jailbird I ever did see [WHAT THE FUCK]
I sure would be delighted with your company
Come on and do the Jailhouse Rock with me
Let's rock, everybody, let's rock
Everybody in the whole cell block
Was dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock
Sad sack was sittin' on a block of stone
Way over in the corner weepin' all alone
The warden said, hey, buddy, don't you be no square
If you can't find a partner use a wooden chair [up his ass?]
Let's rock, everybody, let's rock
Everybody in the whole cell block
Was dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock
Shifty Henry said to Bugs, for heaven's sake
No one's lookin', now's our chance to make a break
Bugsy turned to Shifty and he said, nix nix
I want to stick around a while and get my kicks [oh good god]
Let's rock, everybody, let's rock
Everybody in the whole cell block
Was dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock
Dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock
Dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock
Dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock
Dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock

So the word "blowin'" proves it.

Did that not seal it for you when you heard the song??
Number forty seven isn't just admiring the slim trim fit of how his fellow jailbird's prison clothes look.
