Similarities[edit]

I've taken the liberty of removing the following phrase: "This song is also strikingly similar to The Cult's Fire Woman" from the "Song meaning" section. I felt it out of place, and feel that though there are some similarities, they could easily be coincidental (and that "strikingly" could be perceived as a weasel word). If anyone's got an objection to that, feel free to add a period and move it elsewhere in the article. FuzzyPlushroom (talk) 02:50, 2 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Well I'm not going to add it back but I did come here to check out the song for that very reason. I heard the song in it's entirety for the first time this morning on the radio and until the lyrics started I thought it was a version of Fire Woman that I had never heard before. The lead guitar also uses a couple of riffs from FW throughout the song.Wolfhound668 (talk) 14:50, 24 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Lyrics vs "What it's about"[edit]

The guy says it's about his wife because she gets hit on and he feels protective about her; but the lyrics include stuff like "Come together, leave alone, see her later back at home ... no one really knows just how far she's gonna go, but I'm gonna find out later tonight," and so on, which weaves a story about a guy whose girlfriend keeps hooking up with other guys and then coming home and telling him all about it. The tone indicates he likes it. Strange, strange song given the premise; there is a giant logical disconnect here. --137.200.0.106 (talk) 19:24, 22 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
