Hearing those recognisable opening bars
the beats that still have you gyrating (or trying to)
in ways you’d forgotten were possible
The words you really wish you could understand
Then along comes the chorus and the little bit after it and you smile. .
Gitchi gitchi ya ya da da
Gitchi gitchi ya ya here
Mocha chocolata, ya ya

I don’t know exactly what the words meant. But I did know the “ vibe “ of the song. Makes sense really. It’s about the ladies of the night. Duh

It is a wonderful classic song. I could never understand why young gay men twenty years after the songs release knew the song word perfect.
