      The idea for the lyrics was to spotlight each member of the band was really cool at the time. They introduced themselves with their name and astrological sign. The verses read like personal ads, as each member makes his pitch to the ladies. They briefly expressed their true feelings of what kind of woman they liked. Brilliant!
