Yes, I have it and I just played that song and, it does have a calypso beat to it. I had not noticed that before.

I think Taylor was trying out several different genres on those early works - "West Texas Sky" sounds a little "Mariache-like" - "My Friend" sorta boogie woogie, and of course there's the sweet slow soul music that really defines him. My very least favorite song on that entire album is the way he sings "Georgia" - don't like it! I love the song, but don't love all the 'stuff' he adds to it. I skip that one after the first 30 seconds every time. :)

I don't always listen to words of a song - if the beat's good, I don't care! I didn't know Enrique's was about a vampire! lOL

Yes, it seems vampires are all the thing now, what with the Twilight book series and movie and the True Blood series on HBO (which I have not seen).

This song is about a guy remembering how he got in a fight with his girlfriend, went out on the street and ended up following a beautiful woman (who happens to be a vampire) into an alley and getting "turned". And how sorry he is.....yadda, yadda. LOL.

Like you, it's more the beat of a song that I like, rather than the words.
