Enlisting a vocalist with famous parents and an Ivy League classmate for the saxophone sections, Jaar already had a sultry hit on his hands with the original. The lyrics tell a short tale of a divide between the dapper and disheveled being defeated "with just one glance".
Xinobi adds subtle changes, but somehow the song seems to take on a new focus. The bongos clear the murky fog of the original, and switching the title to a different lyric reveals the real climax of the story. It isn't the skirt tearing glance, but rather the likely gasp-accompanied reaction from our narrator.
