+254 If Bryan Adams had known about the weird slang people would come up with, he wouldn't have named his song ''Summer of '69'', amirite?

The song is about sex in the summertime and makes a reference to the slang meaning of 69. I thought the same thing as OP before I looked into it.

Bryan Adams wrote the song with that in mind. http://www.cracked.com/article_16442_6-famous-songs-that-dont-mean-what-you-think.html

That IS what the song is about. He wasn't even born yet in '69.

He was born, but he was 10. When it comes to a song about a summer fling and being a guitar player in a band and stuff, they're pretty much the same thing.
