Dylan wrote alot of lyrics with somewhat obscured meanings which could be interpreted, but I like to take Lay Lady Lay literally. -It's a man wanting the company of a woman.

I feel that rarely is there one simple meaning to a Dylan song. Therefore I consider it no coincidence that the style of the "poem" could be referd to as a "lay" http://dictionary.die.net/lay here are the various definitions of the word lay.

Also a "lay lady" could easily mean, a normal average lady, as in lay person, lay man or lay lady. Thyere is almost no denying the sexual nature though.

What was the theme song for The Tomorrow Show in the last couple years?

Tom Snyder's TOMORROW show used a number of themes throughout it's 9-year run ... including a version of "Lay Lady Lay" and a song by MFSB. But if you're looking for the "original" theme song used when it went on the air in 1973, it's "Love's Theme" by the Love Unlimited Orchestra. The song was the #2 song on the instrumental pop charts for 1973.
