LYRICS:
Since I came to know you baibe
I've been telling you how sweet you are
I've been telling you how good you are
Now I want you try to tell me how I look
Tell me please tell me how I look
You look so good
Fantastic man
Since I came to know you baibe
I've been telling you how good you are
I've been telling you how sweet you are
I've been telling you how lovely you are
I've been telling you how nice you are
Now I want you try to tell me how I look
Look at me baibe, look at me
Look at me, my girl look at me
I want you try to tell me
how you feel about me baibe
I want you to tell me how I look
Tell me please tell me how I look
Tell me please tell me how I look
You look so good
Fantastic Man

Plot twist: He found out his fiance was sleeping with his best friends, killed them, and she ran off through the woods never to be seen again. This song makes everything better.

I love the innocence of this song. He wants the woman he loves to tell him that she thinks he's beautiful too. I guess in a way the song is saying we all want to feel beautiful, even men!

What's interesting is that before I learned this song was released in 1979, I was totally convinced that it was new, from an up and coming artist. A sign of a true transcendent artist...their works are relevant in any era.

I consider myself fairly musically astute across a wide range of genres, but I just heard this being played for the first time tonight on a streaming college station in Winnepeg (CJUM), while I was walking my dog in the suburbs of Seattle-Tacoma. In the first few seconds, I immediately thought of Bowie's S&V as well. Imagine my surprise when I learned from the DJs that this came from a man that was a legend in Africa. I definitely dig this as much as Bowie's classic. Music is indeed the greatest uniter ever devised.
