    Song Meaning
    The song's about goin' at it consistently and tirelessly until the job is properly done... like a sex machine... duh? If you listen to the rhythm section, you can hear that they practice what they preach. Oh, and when he starts randomly yelling "taste" (which is hilarious, by the way) I think he's also saying "piano" not "being". But he's pronouncing it "piana". Which I think would fit in with the way he talks. Plus right after he says that he begins hammering on the "piana" like a maniac...

    Call and response, roots of soul, irresistable rhythm. Often imitated but never replicated, King James at his very best. Get On Up!

    My Interpretation
    We're near or in the "Free Love" era of the 60s. Also Black power. I visualize a Mack Daddy (or Mack Momma) in the club or wherever having undeniable confidence to hook up with a sex partner, time and time again, like a machine. A sex machine. Sung and done only in the way the Godfather of Soul and the Master of Funk can do it.
