The song was written by frontman Courtney Taylor-Taylor after seeing a woman pull up in her car to the traffic lights outside his apartment. The music video for this song is very controversial and contains depictions of full-frontal male nudity as well as topless female nudity. The clip was rarely broadcast without the offending images pixilated.
Many people, especially those in the UK, know this song because it was featured in a Vodaphone commercial. It was also featured in more than a dozen films and TV shows in North America, and guitarist Pete Holmstrom is OK with the commercialization of the tune.
