If i were a young dude in the 60's I would have grabbed my girl by her big booty and danced with her on the dancefloor slowly in unmatched bliss while this song spun in and around our minds, ears, and souls.

It's a strange one this. I love it, however, it seems to put me in a good mood, despite the fact that it is, in fact, about losing that special someone.
