FAR superior to the overplayed and overrated "Use Somebody." Too bad "Sex" wasn't the song that spent 43 weeks on AT40.

I liked this when I first heard it, but it was played into the ground in Europe during 2008-2009 so much that I got sick of it. I enjoy it every now and then these days. Always preferred it to Use Somebody.
It was also nearly incomprehensible on first listen.

I took notice of it when Beyoncé covered it on her Glastonbury set in 2011. I like it.

Always liked this one more than "Use Somebody". Sad that that one overshadowed this.

I got into them with "Use Somebody", but after I bought Only By The Night, I really gravitated to this song (as well as "Notion" and "Manhattan"). Great song from a truly great album.

This was the song that got me into Kings Of Leon for a short period. It's a shame it didn't blow up. I recall charting this and their other singles simultaneously, but it was "Use Somebody" that became the bigger hit.

I thought this would have a higher position in the charts. This was everywhere in late 2008/early 2009.
