The singer expresses his desire to take her home and make her all his, acknowledging that he is tired of wasting his precious time. The repeated "foxey, foxey" adds to the sensuous and flirtatious tone of the song.


The lyrics can be interpreted as a celebration of the power of the female form and an affirmation of sexual desire.

@The666Miraculix G'Day from rural South Oz...I am 60 in a few weeks and my older sister put me onto Jimi in the very early 70's...we had stickers or decals in black or bright alluminus colours on our pushbikes...Electric Ladyland ...Band of Gypsy's or Crash Landings Captain Coconut are all brilliant...and I had around 17 vinys of Jimi and i know he only did a few post but ..."so if 6 turned out to be 9...I dont mind"...still listening today

A true force of nature. No-one can do it like Jimi.

Alessandro Romanello

He was the best, he is the best and he'll always be the best. No one came or comes remotely close. His solo in this track is just not human.

Charles Batts
