Trying to make a woman that you move
And we're sharing in the Weekapaug Groove.
Jeff Goldberg explains the alleged birth of these lyrics:
It is indeed nonsensical-- in that most people think the lyric is "match" when it IS actually "that." The lyrics were concocted in an inebriated state on the road after leaving a gig in Weekapaug, RI-- The 70's disco song "Oh What a Night" was on the radio- Mike was singing along during the part that goes "Oh I... " and he didn't know the lyrics following the "Oh I" so he just sang what he remembered it as in his head: "Oh I'm...Trying to make a woman that you moooove. (<aaahhhh>)" This then became a joke within the band, and the song's lyrics were written.
Also, it's funny, because the melody to the vocals is still the same as the melody for the bridge of "Oh What a Night."
