Length: 00:06:28
Year: 1969

Sometimes when I'm listening to this song, it feels like I'm actually falling into the bed. Something about the descending baseline. I think of it as "getting low." Not in the Li'l Jon and the Eastside Boyz sense of the term, but in the sense of the complete opposite of getting high.
