Lyrics and Music
The lyrics were written by Bernard Edwards and Nile Rodgers and contains rhymes such as:
| “ | Arrogance, but not conceit As a man, he's complete ... He wears the finest clothes, the best designers heaven knows, from his head down to his toes... Halston, Gucci Fiorucci |
” |
The word that is not understood before Fiorucci could be Elio. Elio Fiorucci is the name of the designer of the Fiorucci brand. Nile Rodgers has speculated that this may have been the first occurrence of the later-widespread phenomenon of brands being mentioned in songs.
The recording features Rodgers on guitar, Edwards on bass, Tony Thompson on percussion, Raymond Jones on backing keyboards, and orchestration by Gene Orloff's Chic Strings.

Famous quotes containing the words lyrics and/or music:
“Chad and I always look for deeper meanings; we can analyze Beastie Boys lyrics for hours.”
—Amy Stewart (b. 1975)
“The man that hath no music in himself,
Nor is not moved with concord of sweet sounds,
Is fit for treasons, stratagems, and spoils.
The motions of his spirit are dull as night,
And his affections dark as Erebus.
Let no such man be trusted.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
