Written by Charlotte Caffey and Jane Wiedlin, the song was about Caffey's one-time boyfriend, baseball player Bob Welch.[1]

Music video

The song's music video, co-directed by Mary Lambert and Chris Gabrin,[2] featured a starring role for the then-up-and-coming actor Rob Lowe.[3] The band members play suit-clad men (except for drummer Gina Schock, who is wearing a colorful dress) as they perform the song at a formal teen dance which appears to be taking place in the early to mid-1960s. The band members also play female party guests (except for Schock, who plays a male guest) watching and dancing to the music.
