Slippin' Around

"Slippin' Around" is a song written and recorded by Floyd Tillman in 1949. The most popular recording was a cover version by Margaret Whiting and Jimmy Wakely which reached number one on the Retail Folk (Country) Best Sellers chart in the United States.^[1] It is a song about a person cheating on their spouse.^[2]

Tillman wrote a follow-up song, the same year, with essentially the same melody, called "I'll Never Slip Around Again" in which the cheater has married the one with whom they cheated, and is in turn worried that they are being cheated on. Doris Day recorded this song as well as Tillman and Whiting and Wakely.
