| Oh man the sax makes me want to convulse... I like the lyrics on this song a lot, there's good alliteration (flip, flop, fit to drop) and rhymes (kiss me quick baby, won't you make my day? *the k sound is repeated*) so the overall sound benefits making his ragged singing/shouting enjoyable cause it all flows so nicely | |

| Why hasn't anyone else commented on this? Even though it is a little hard to follow along too, it's an awesome song. | |
