This is that song for me.

It's totally cheesy & over the top. I love the hooky chords, propulsive rhythm section, semi-mysterious lyrics. His singing knocks me out.
To me it could have been like number one song of the year or something like that. I find it perfect in every way & never tire of hearing it!

(10,418 posts)It's got an early 60s vibe to it updated with the the mellow vibes of 70s soft rock. I can see how some pleasant memories might be associated with this song, especially early romance.
