Classic Line from a Classic Song 🎶

We're putting your music knowledge to the test! Do you know the words of fake the funk? Can you identify the song title and artist behind this unforgettable lyric?

"Whoa, when I'm longing to love you just for the night, Kissing and hugging and holding you tight..."
This intriguing lyric comes from a widely recognized ballad from a classic album, a track that has resonated with audiences for decades. Despite its common perception as a love song, often even played at weddings, the creators of the song themselves were surprised by this interpretation. In fact, one of the lead vocalists explicitly confirmed that this line is about a one-night stand. The vocalist described it as "totally lust for the moment" and clarified it's "not a song about love or being in love; it's about lust, and an intimate encounter for a single night". The narrator is quite explicit about wanting a "short-term liaison".

Interestingly, this song was never released as a single, yet it became one of the most popular tracks by the group, often played at most of their concerts. Given this fascinating context, can you guess the song title and artist behind this iconic, yet often misunderstood, lyric? Share your answers below! 👇

We’ve Got Questions: Pregnancy Over 40 Is Rising, Mom’s Multitasking—And the WHO Reduces Age Babies Can Drink Cow’s Milk | In this candid and sharply witty episode of Healing After Birth, Nana Eyeson-Akiwowo and Marcia Cole dive into three hot-button topics that hit at the heart of modern motherhood.
