OMG- the absolute favorite of my best friend and me when we were teenagers in the 80's! We listened to that song about 100000 times and more, we turned it up loud, so our whole neighbourhood enjoyed this marvellous song as well, ha ha! Now, about 30 years later, I still love it!
There are two versions and I dont't know, which one I like more. The second one's got from beginning till end so much power and rhythm, the first one's much more quite, but I prefer the video of this one. Neil is looking there so damn sexy intelligent and distinguished with his suit, hat and glasses and I love his arrogant gestures and facial mimics throughout the whole video, especially at the second verse, telling about his intellectual achievements- so genius!
Well, what's this song about? I think, it's from all about the others already wrote before: a wind-up about two losers making fast money, maybe a sexual line about looking for a partner icl. all benefits, but in my opinion the combination of brains, brawn and looks is in deed the best combination for making lots of money- if you do it the right way.
But there are two phrases in the song which I don't quite understand, maybe someone can help me: in which context do you see "My car is parked outside, I'm afraid it doesn't work"? Is it just to have a rhyme? Or does the jerk's car not work of whom he's had enough of? Euphemism for something sexual?
And "Doctored in mathematics" is always translated that he has a degree in maths, but doctored actually means something like betraying. I'm not from the U.K., so maybe I'm wrong with the translation und maybe someone can help me? Anyway, great song!!
