It's not exclusively about drugs: the song is the narrator's reflection on the whole fast-paced party lifestyle. The first two stanzas speak of his hard use of drugs and women, wild parties...eventually his whole life comes crashing down around him, but he's able to recover, as heard in the third stanza.
All u that wish u were born back then, don't feel like a stranger. I'm 36 and the older I get the more I like older stuff. Its only gonna get worse. Ya'll that are younger and can, should bring back the real stuff, whether its music or cars or whatever. I've got an old '47 Ford truck with a '40 nose, its not much but I relly dig the style and craftsmanship. Todays vehicles and music have no soul or heart. Th cars look like jellybeans and the musics reixed & edited to death.
This is exactly why I hate today's cars! They all claim to be different, but they just look the same. Give me a '57 T-Bird over a Lexus any day of the week!
No, you're absolutely not the only one who feels like this! :P Ohh, I wish, I wish, wish, wiish, I was born in the 50's, so that I could experience all those wicked dresses from then and I could be at Woodstock.. Ohh I would have run away from home just to be at Woodstock.... I looooooooove old music and really disgust chart music. We're all born in the wrong era :P
i love jazz... it's a passion. I'm learning swing dancing soon; I'm in the school's jazz band and everything. this band tops everything! i agree whole heartedly. how could music like this die out?
Sweet Jesus! That was excellent. I wasn't aware of this video; thanks for uploading it. I was never much into the CPD's swing stuff, believe it or not, but I have a newfound respect for this song. Does anybody know if they made any other videos after the 'ZSR' era? It seems like they'd have made one for 'Soul Caddy'...
great song, madd confused about the video like the car and pastry???? wth. but i loved the brown derby part in the beginning with the girl, that was the only part that made sense to me. lol i dont get the huge stove that makes a mini- piano but hey whatever great song!
The 2nd big single from CPD. The thing that always stayed with me from this video was the car that was covered with cookies. How many music videos have ever done that?!
The audio is all fucked up. Why is this still a live video?

Overrated.
I'll stick with Artie Shaw, Glenn Miller, Count Basie, Cab Calloway - something I can dance to.
