This song was written as a tribute by Paul to his father. It was the kind of songs that his dad use to play and Paul liked them.

Old frieds whom that had went to school with were suddenly 'getting weak in the knee' at seeing them again, even they put this godliness idolisation on them. Must have been strange to see someone who you used to befriend when you were a kid, was now crying when they see you. The bit that means most to me in this song, isnt even written on here, 'I like it like that. Ohh Ahh, I like this kinda, hot kinda, music. Hot kinda music. Play it to me, play it to me honey, would you.' It belongs inbetween the lines 'To be where you belong' and "Will the wind that blew her boat'...
