Very groovy

I think I can safely give two hoots for some George Kranz scatting and a Nile Rodgers guitar riff happening in the song. However, what I really love about the song is that 80s pop music vibe. It’s so damn groovy!

Superb lyrics

Well, honestly, the song reminds me of Bee Gees and the rap swing lyrics are just superb, especially, ‘I called the police and the fireman, I’m so hot that I make the dragon wanna retire man!’ It’s a cool funky song. I love it!

Great song
