I agree with both ejc and PinsNeedles. "Funk" and "party" are 2 words that come to mind while listening to this tune. The song is about New York City party life, perhaps a tribute to the late 1970s and Studio 54.
When I first heard this song on the radio I loved it, but I had no idea who it was. When I found out it's by the Black Crowes, I was shocked. This song is so different from the southern-rock sound the Black Crowes have become known for. And I hope the haters keep their mouths shut, and enjoy this song for what it is (funky and retro), and what it's not (the modern southern-rock-blues sound the Crowes helped pioneer, and bands like the Kings of Leon have began to imitate, and progress).
The rest of the album "Before The Frost" is nothing like this song. So props to the Crowes for trying something different for this tune, I think they pulled it off very well. I think this song has the '70s written all over it, like David Bowie re-imagined or something.
BaW, WaWaWaWaW ... BaW, WaWaWaWaWaWaWaW
