What's your sign girl?
Is it compatible to mine?
What's your sign girl?
Yeah
I'm a Capricorn
We believe in life and living
We trip on love and giving, oh yeah
If you're a Virgo
We can make it from the start
Miss Leo, you foxy lion-heart
If your sign matches mine
Think of what we'll have
We'll be making babies together, forever
What's your sign girl?
Is it compatible to mine?
What's your sign girl?
Is it compatible to mine?
The lyrics to Danny Pearson's song "What's Your Sign Girl" evoke an era when astrology was all the rage, and people believed their astrological sign could offer clues about their personality, emotions, and future. The song lists all the signs of the zodiac, from Capricorn to Leo, and asks the titular question, "What's your sign girl?" The singer is curious about whether the girl's sign is compatible with his own, as he believes they could have a bright future together if they match.
The second verse gives a nod to the traits and characteristics associated with each sign. The singer reveals he is a Capricorn, and asserts that his sign values life and living while getting a buzz from love and giving. He then goes on to suggest that if the girl he's interested in is a Virgo, they can make it from the start. If she's a Leo, with all her foxy lion-heartedness, he is equally smitten. The chorus repeats the titular question and asserts that if their signs match, they could be making babies together forever.
At its heart, "What's Your Sign Girl" is a lighthearted, playful ode to an era gone by, when astrology was all the rage, and people would look to the stars for guidance in love and life. The song's lyrics are simple, yet effective, capturing the wide-eyed wonder and lighthearted optimism of the time. The song invites us to embrace the idea that maybe, just maybe, our signs could hold the key to finding true love and happiness.

I bought this song when it came out, I love this song. I am now 55 years old, I am glad they had music like this. This is the best music in the world. I can't get with this stuff they make and play today, to me it doesn't have the meaning and depth that this music has. I wouldn't trade this music for anything, I also like 70's rock music. The 70' are every thing to me.
@spagan233
Me too!! Still sounds good like when first came out.
