What you gonna do when you get out of jail? I'm gonna have some fun What do you consider fun? Fun, natural fun I'm in heaven With my boyfriend, my laughing boyfriend There's no beginning and there is no end Time isn't present in that dimention He'll take my arm When we're walkin', rolling and rocking It's one time I'm glad I'm not a man Feels like I'm dreaming, but I'm not sleeping I'm in heaven With the maven of funk mutation Clinton's musicians such as Bootsy Collins Raise expectations to a new intention No one can sing Quite like Smokey, Smokey Robinson Wailin' and shakin' to Bob Marley Reggae's expanding with Sly and Robbie All the weekend Boyfriend was missing I surely miss him The way he'd hold me in his warm arms We went insane when we took cocaine. Stepping in a rhythm to a Kurtis Blow Who needs to think when your feet just go With a hiditihi and a hipitiho Who needs to think when your feet just go ... Bohannon,Bohannon,Bohannon,Bohannon... Who needs to think when your feet just go ... Bohannon,Bohannon,Bohannon,Bohannon... James Brown, James Brown James Brown, James Brown If you see him Please remind him, unhappy boyfriend Well he's the genius of love He's got a greater depth of feeling Well he's the genius of love He's so deep.

As vendas de mais de cem mil cópias importadas do Reino Unido convenceram a Sire Records a lançar o single e o álbum na América do Norte em fins de 1981, antes mesmo do álbum ter sido oficialmente disponível nesse mercado.
Apesar de ter atingido apenas a 31ª posição na Billboard Hot 100 dos EUA, o sucesso da música em clubes e paradas de R&B e dança ajudou o LP do Tom Tom Club a conquistar um prêmio de Vendas de Ouro em 1982.
No Reino Unido, a melodia baseada nos teclados e baixo da faixa foi adaptada para uma campanha publicitária de longa duração da Bird's na segunda metade dos anos 80, que utilizava uma animação psicodélica inspirada no clipe original.
O narrador da música compara o namorado a uma figura mística do funk, citando explicitamente ícones como James Brown, Bob Marley, George Clinton, Bootsy Collins e Sly and Robbie.
O diretor Jonathan Demme incluiu a performance da faixa no filme musical Stop Making Sense dos Talking Heads em 1984 principalmente para permitir que David Byrne saísse do palco para trocar de roupa, assegurando erroneousmente à Tina Weymouth que a cena seria cortada na versão final.
A música reapareceu na cultura popular décadas depois ao ser utilizada em um comercial de televisão popular para carros da Kia em 2002.
