A happy one, yes?

Joe Jackson, "Steppin' Out"
On: Night and Day (1982)
What the song is about: It's a beautiful night...why stay inside? JJ and his love try to spice up their monontonous relationship by (gasp!) leaving the house.
Why I keep listening to it: I just like the melody. I've been humming it for a while, and I couldn't remember which JJ song it was...I had to sift through my records and find it.
Best lyric: It's not a great line, but I totally understand what JJ means when he says, "We are young but getting old before our time..."
