He particularly loved that it was a song about male beauty, which made me appreciate the song even more.
I love the song too. The lyrics express real longing, the sexual tension of an older woman seducing a younger man is a rock'n'roll staple done right, and the blending of Jill's vocals with Sheila's is perfectly executed. I like the extended version tons as well. And even though there's no real reason for this, the song always has a Christmas feel (in a good way). I'm surprised it wasn't a bigger hit for Sheila. Perhaps if there had been a real video for it, it would have been. The song has a Christmas feel because of those raindeer bell sounds they used through the song. The Extended Dance Mix is HAWT and actually sounds so much better straight off the vinyl..its like they turned up the bass and synths and the drums sound even more crisp dense and thicker than the original..not so layered flat into the song. That's what I LOVE about 12" versions. MAtter of fact I dont even think I have the original on my ipod unfortunatley. Straight Jacket Funk Affair
