Still freaks me out that Rosanna Arquette was his "muse" at the time this album was being recorded. Guess ol' Pete was feeling pretty good. Hell yeah this song is filthy... but then again.. it's not his first song that's a bit cheeky. :)

I always imagine construction workers dancing to this song... [2] Like in a musical. One moment they're building a skyscraper and the next they burst into a song-and-dance number.
