Suggestive seventies obscurity from Nancy Sinatra. Inspiration to Erol Alkan and Pale Saints.
A spartan arrangement of acoustic guitar strum and highly processed bendy, wah/chorus/echoplex guitar introduces Ms. Sinatra's breathless, tongue-in-cheek vocal.
Strings and subtle drums enter the mix and give the song an air of seventies easy-listening sophistication, the theme to The Generation Game Wife-Swappers edition.
It's a sleek and romantic little tune. Very nice.
Apparently this was pretty much banned at the time but served to inspire an amazing cover by Pale Saints and it was included on Erol Alkan's Trash Companion compilation. Presumably, it formed the wind-down, 'erection section' at the end of a night's hard electroclashing.
