I watched the You Tube video, and I swear that white boy just can't sound like this. Another white boy, sure, but not that one.
Back in the '70s I would have sworn on a bible the lyrics were "Play that Funky Music Playboy". I guess I thought it was an ode to Hugh Hefner.
what does it say about your life if that exact situation happened to you?
