The lyrics of "Foxy Lady" by Jimi Hendrix seem to be a straightforward ode to a beautiful woman. The song opens with the lines "Foxey, foxey / You know you're a cute little heartbreaker." The singer (presumably Jimi himself) immediately establishes the woman's physical appeal, while also using the phrase "heartbreaker" to suggest she's a bit dangerous. The repetition of her name in the chorus ("Ooh foxey lady, yeah / Foxey, foxey") also emphasizes her seductive power.
In the second verse, the singer reacts to seeing the woman "on the scene." He says that she "make[s] me want to get up and scream"—implying both excitement and frustration. He then declares that he's "made up [his] mind" and is "tired of wasting all [his] precious time." Clearly, this foxey lady has gotten under his skin. By the end of the song, he's promising to "take [her] home" and make her "all mine, all mine."

At first glance, everyone is bored. Then you realize everyone is stoned, and probably having their mind blown at the same time.
@ad-xf8bb
Just like me, right now.
@IsabellaHale

@IsabellaHale
Charles Manson will burn in hell where he belongs.
@Orieus
lol, i agree, they are so stoned and getting their minds blown its amazing lol
@IsabellaHale
Where did you get that idea? reading a history book or UTUBE? Pop Festivals were completely different venues than Concerts where some actually had NO seating like Janis Joplin which I saw.. and the ones in stadiums where seating was stadium style but as I recall it.. everyone stood up the whole time even three hour festivals. I lived it. When you are 19 standing up and dancing for 6 hours straight or whatever was not problem. Anyone who actually attended "music" in those days.. well attest to that. but anyway.. have a good day.
@cforssi
I was at this concert. I was 17 years old and somewhere in the audience. People were sitting around because this was an all day festival with lots of bands. Very hot also.
@enaepriscila
What a f... envy I have of you!
@felipeguzman7834
Lucky bastard
@richardbetts7088
You are a very lucky man indeed, when you watch Jimi play that guitar you realise nobody is going to that good, you will always be second.
I sold the guitar and raced bikes instead 😂
