A great song to kick off June, driving down the road, top down, sun shining. This is joyful pop about a fun-loving girl enjoying herself at the expense of men who are unable to resist her. Weird synth sounds during the opening, into the first verse: 'she's driving away, with the dim lights on....' The second verse starts up with another great line: 'She's winding them down, on her clock machine...' and a new synth comes in for some nice counterpoint. This song has a so many nice little hooks, like the 'she's a frozen fire...' bit at the end of the second verse, followed by the 'I don't want to hold her down' interlude that leads into 'let's go'...this would be enough for any song, but what makes this one great is that they turn it up yet another notch with the classic 'I like the nightlife baby' part. That part just blasts out of the speakers, like there was a big wind-up followed by a smash into the bleachers. And we have come full circle and head into the third verse and the cars head off down the highway and into the sunset.
