It has been suggested that Page collaborated with Coverdale in order to irk Page's former Led Zeppelin band-member Robert Plant, who up to that point had been reluctant to re-unite with Page.[1] In interviews at the time, Plant expressed some derision at the guitarist's collaboration with Coverdale.[2] Rumours emerged that Coverdale and Page would be joined by John Paul Jones and Jason Bonham in a reformed Led Zeppelin, but this did not pan out.[citation needed]
This studio album marked a return to commercial success for Page since his days with Led Zeppelin. However, after a series of concerts in Japan, sluggish tickets sales for a subsequent world tour resulted in the partnership being dissolved. Page subsequently teamed up with Plant for an "UnLedded" MTV project and Coverdale re-appeared from time to time with different Whitesnake line-ups.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hey, gypsy woman, roll your dice for me,
Read my Tarot cards, so I can see.
I'm razor sharp, cool sunglasses,
Pocketful of backstage passes.
Lady Luck, roll your dice for me.
The boys are feeling hot, tonight,
Women to the left, women to the right,
The boys are feeling hot tonight.
I ain't too proud to beg for what you got,
You'd melt a heart of ice, babe, you're so hot.
So pump it up, raise the dead,
Squeeze it, honey, 'til it's cherry red
I ain't too proud to beg for what you got.
The boys are feeling hot, tonight,
Fingers crossed, they get it right.
Women to the left, women to the right,
The boys are feeling hot tonight.
Feeling hot, feeling hot, feeling hot, feeling hot, hot, hot, hot.
(Solo)
Feeling hot.
Now I just want to make sweet love to you,
I'll do anything you want me to.
So rip it up, slip an' slide,
'Scuse me if my tongue gets tired
An' I will make some sweet love to you.
The boys are feeling hot, tonight,
Fingers crossed, they get it right.
Women to the left, women to the right,
The boys are feeling hot tonight, hey, hey, hey.
Look out baby!
The boys are feeling hot tonight,
The boys are feeling hot tonight,
The boys are feeling hot tonight.
Rip it up, baby.

The lyrics suggest a night of fun and excitement, with the boys feeling hot and hoping to get lucky with the women around them. They are not too proud to beg for what they want, and they admire the women's beauty and sensuality. The chorus is catchy and memorable, with the repetition of the phrase "feeling hot" and the use of onomatopoeic syllables to create a sense of urgency and passion.
