    This song throws me back to the younger years of my life, when things "felt simpler", and my biggest priority in life was whose house my friends and I were going to take over for the weekend hangout. We had many a late poker night listening to this album. I still come back to it a few times a year to enjoy those good feelings of nostalgia, and this song in particular. Just wanted to share!

      Knowing that it's a double entendre about birth makes it even better.

    I used to supervise an international market. One of the other supervisors would put this on every night 15min before close. I, and everyone else, quickly grew tired of the bit. But whatever, you let folks have their harmless bits to get through the shift.

      I, too, have a stupid bit: When ever this song comes on the work playlist I dust off my hands and say “Alright, folks, shut ‘er down, that’s a wrap.” Even if we are several hours away from closing. Never fails to get a groan.
