Yeah I really did love it for my whole life until someone shed light on it being about a young and underage girl that dude was wanting when she was a little girl, then after she got old enough he was able to let her know how he felt about her without having his head beat in by her daddy 😂😢

I loved hearing this song on Perks of Being a Wallflower. I'd heard it way before I saw the movie, but it was nice to see how they incorporated it into the movie. This song just makes you want to get up & dance!!

One of those songs that never fails to make me dance stupidly.

dam, for 32 years i been singing the wrong lyrics, learn something new everyday

32yrs I've known this song, it was number 1 when I started my first job aged 16, August 1982, and for the first time in ALL that time, I've actually understood the lyrics, and their meaning............I could go to the foot of our stairs in amazement.

Certainly. Up there in my top ten. A song of sheer joy. The ecstasy of young lust and raw, unashamed sexuality. It can take us back to that young, almost innocent emotional high. Love, lust. Can’t separate them in this genius song.

I freaking LOVE this song!!!!

Imagine if one day, in a really public place this started playing really loud, and you yell "LIVING ROOM ROUTINE" and a random person and you would start dancing like Sam and Patrick in Perks, with people crowding around and smiling, which would lead to the random person and you spending the rest of the day together, and essentially becoming really great friends. That's the kinda stuff that only happens in books, though. Shame. People in books seem so much happier. That would be so epic!:D
