Can't say I'd be rushing to use this song for brother/sist e r or mother/son like some of the comments below... lol. Take a good listen to the lyrics, first half the song is about sex and junk food. Funny how sexual content wasn't censored as long as no one cussed or used specific anatomy (this song coming from a time of heavy censorship). Catchy song sure, but kind of dirty too. ;)
My gmas name is diane and my gpas name is pat so when ever this song comes on my family changes it to pat and diane when they are around

haha my friends name is jack, and his mom names is diane, so whenever this song comes on in the car she says HEY JACK THIS IS OUR SONG!!! i love this song though. and my names diana so, theres a certain resemblance lol
I love how my station can jump from indie/rock, to John Mayer, to screamo metal (which I instantly thumbed down), to this! Hahaha, and now Maroon 5... I've gotta fix this station....
this song makes me laugh lol...it sort of reminds me of my brother and I...its cute.
disco?
