Number 85: Paul Simon - Gumboots
Album: Graceland, 1986.

Playful, exuberant, and a great day-driving song. Paul sets himself up as kind of a jerk, but endearing one to be sure. As much as he acts like an insensitive, selfish wise-ass, I can't help but admire his confidence with Senorita.
The chorus resonates with me personally: "You don't feel you could love me, but I feel you could."
By the way, gumboots are another name for those rubber rainboots. It's an African dance, kinda like stepping.
