???????? This is one of the best covers of this classic I've heard.  Very nicely arranged and produced.  And the Meters cook.

Sally is the woman he wants, but can't have.  Julia is the hooker he can have, but doesn't want, hence "sneaking through the alley."  The sailing shoes are the ones belonging to the hooker flying through the air at his head after a particularly disparaging comment he made about her.

In the alley? Or the hotel room? Should we bring our nipples?

Don't overthink it. Just sing along. But put on your sailing shoes first.

Pedantically speaking, sailing shoes are different. You want soft non-marking soles and treads that squeegee water without picking up stones or sand grains on shore that would be ground into your deck, and speaking of the deck, the same described soles help keep one firmly planted, better than bare feet. I suppose a side effect is that they are quiet, thus making one Sneaky.

Great album. Mr. Palmer had many. The players here are basically Little Feat. I stand corrected.. The Meters and Lowell George. This album lead me to discover Little feat as well. 

  Thanks for that. I was wondering why I was hearing 'Feat but seeing Palmer.{#Ask}

While I like this version well enough (and I love Mr. Palmer's music, may he rest in peace), I still prefer Little Feat.

Liked this back in the day. I never knew it was Robert Palmer (don't think I really cared...) Still sounds good. And, although I no longer sneak through the alley with Sally... I miss her{#Rolleyes}

Fun medley. But begs for some airtime for a some live Little Feat. And why in the Feat archive, scrape the dust off "The Fan" too.
