My friend, when he was sick of the wifey and wanted to go for some other
action he always said I got to go out and get
“a piece of strange”
as in strange (different, new) pussy.

I thought that this was a common saying (is it not?) and until I heard the
record, [A Piece of Strange,] and I saw the hot cartoon chick on the front.
I thought they were playing on this.

Yes, this, too, was different  the StL of the "50's. We used, "a _taste_ of
strange."
