This song began life as a jam I used to play at Avalanche rehearsals...thirty years ago..as a way for us to just loosen up...before serious rehearsal began. During the recording sessions this past July...the riffs came back to me...and so I arranged it into a song...and spent a couple of weeks writing and re-writing the lyrics in a hotel room. The song has a very sexy rhythmic feel to it...and so it became obvious to me that the song should be sexy, too. I usually try to match up the musical and lyrical moods on the songs I write...and this one was so obvious...there was no other choice, really.

I have always believed that sex is just a very natural thing...something that "boys and girls do" because we're designed that way. I also believe it is a spiritual gift to us...and that something that is so natural and feels that good can't possibly be something to feel guilt or shame about. I also don't believe that men and women are monagamous by nature. I think THAT is a learned behavior...and something that we have been "programmed" to believe. To try to deny that part of ourselves is where I see many of the problems people have in their personal relationships...and it often stems from that faulty programming. Denying our basic drives...or feeling guilt or shame for having them...isn't a whole lot different than feeling ashamed of being alive...in my opinion. We're designed the way we are for a reason...and this song is all about exploring this most natural of all human instincts. And in addition to that...it's only rock and roll...and I LIKE IT!
