Okay 101 please explain how this one works?
Think of seven letters

"Baby, I'm-a want you, baby, I'm-a need you" has always annoyed me. I don't get the "I'm-a" thing.

Duran Duran's "You're about as easy as a nuclear war" was pretty crass in an era of heightened cold war tension.

The DD one reminds me of "I'm as serious as cancer when I say rhythm is a dancer"
