This song was released in 1984. Jeans were a LOT different then. They were TIGHT! It might take 10 minutes or more to get them on to look right. It may also require some lotion, a clothes hanger, a spray bottle, a friend and few min to walk around enough to be able to move semi-normally. They weren’t literally painted on but they were close!

It's a perfect blend of rock/power pop/rockabilly that I think yall would dig, it's a banger! Dwight Twilley is from Tulsa and I think he still lives there. He and Tom Petty both used Shelter Records recording studio and became great friends. Petty even played back-up for Twilley at one time.

But he had a second career as a musician. His instrument was the bass guitar and he recorded 8 albums featuring that instrument. I believe he is in the Oklahoma jazz HOF. For so many reasons, Jay really needs to check out his life and careers.

Who knew the movement for girls to like themselves, and their bodies just the way they are, was started by Mel McDaniel. I believe that “clack” sound in the background that keeps the beat is a hollow wooden tube and a wood stick. I not sure what that instrument is called. I can see it in my mind, but the description/name eludes me. Along the lines of this song, Sawyer Brown “Some Girls Do”. I saw another recommendation for Joe Diffie “Third rock from the sun” tells a fun story of cause and effect.
