This song is the epitome of everything Boo and others have been saying for the past 8 years. :P
I was going through my music tonight and listening to the words of it:

If you are a Manhattan Transfer fan, you probably are also a Weather Report and Maynard Ferguson fan.

Boo is always right.

You WP ladies, including tarantella, should all bow to me saying "O You mighty Boo! You're the most right being of the universe!"

:lol: Get used to this new praying.

I haven't heard this song in ages.

The first time I heard it was in a pizza commercial.

Though money doesn't mean beans in NYC because the cost of living is through the roof.

Well, Boo and several people here like to post about women liking the following in men:

Tall
Rich
Willing to spend money on women
Flash Cars
Your own apartment.

This woman is pretty much singing about how she loves all these about a guy. :P

Oh what a surprise...the lyrics when this song was originally done were written by 2 men. :lol:
I highly recommend the original version of this song by the way.

Is it any big surprise? I'm pretty sure that most people wouldn't mind having a partner with those qualities, man or woman!

Apparently he's also shy, depressed, has a dueling scar and a mohair suit, is good looking, and can dance.

8) oddly enough this was the song a friend and I used to sing making fun of my boyfriend (and her ex-boyfriend)...he was indeed a boy from NYC, tall, rich, willing and able to throw (his father's) money around on women, did not have a flash car but had a friend with a flash car (and very uncomfortable it was, too)...also his own mother described him as a pathological liar, and he was headache-inducingly closeted, also arrested on felony charges, also on his way to throwing away his daddy's fortune. I didn't marry him, thought it'd be a bad match. (That was before the felony charges.)

I can't remember the lyrics we made up...something to do with his utter unreliability. Excellent song though.

eta: no mohair suits, but hella fine wardrobe anyhow, and I'm sure it was his everlasting regret that he hadn't a duelling scar. Super dancer. Will one day inherit a very beautiful apartment.

All that yet he was your boyfriend :lol:, and you are not gonna convince me that you didn't see what kind of richy boy he was in the first phase of dating, before you took the decision to become his girlfriend. Yes, I dated women who turned out to be such total jerks but none ever reached the girlfriend level.

Whoa! tarantella, you were a perfect stereotype example of a woman who liked to date jerks (real jerks). Either that, or you liked him for his height and riches, another stereotypical accusation :lol:.
