And you would get a man blowing another man.
The character Don Johnson played on Miami Vice was Det. James " Sonny" Crockett, former University of Florida football star who kept a pet alligator named Elvis on his sailboat.
Here's a great Rolling Stone interview about Johnson and his role in Miami Vice. "The sky started raining panties."

Just curious how many people know this Gator reference...
Near the end of the Eagles' Long Run album is a song called, "The Greeks Don't Want No Freaks." First verse includes, "you got down and did 'the Gator,' half an hour later you were barfin all over your girlfriend's shoes..." Then after the first chorus, you can hear Jimmy Buffet yell "Gator!" Joined by a bunch of hootin and hollerin. The story goes that Donnie Felder (Gainesville High alum) and Buffet were familiar with the UF party scene and told the rest of the band about "the Gator," so Don Henley wrote the song.
Gotta love having UF immortalized in an Eagles tune, even if a bit obscure.
