Why this song is awesome:

This song has an undeniable groove. Like Stella, once she got it back. In fact, that dirty piano riff is probably how she was reunited with it.

Hell, this song almost gave me some, and I’m whiter than the Slapchop guy. But more than a groove, this song creates a sexy mood that ‘dirty’ pop stars like Christina Aguilera only wish they could.

This is the kind of sexy that transports you to a place. Some low-down, scummy part of town. Where men carry Tommy Guns, and only thing more crooked than the cops are the hookers’ teeth.

“So, boss?” rasps my partner Murdoch.

“Looks like we got ourselves a case,” I say, hanging up the phone.

“We sure do boss. We sure do.”

Like the horsemen of the apocalypse, we ride off into the foggy night, Ready for anything. Ready for…I…uh….sorry…I forgot there was anyone was here.

This song always makes my mind wander to strange places.

Best lyrics:

Baby, lay your head on my lap one more time / Tell me you belong to me / Baby say that it’s all gonna be alright / I believe that it isn’t.
