SotD: "Steppin' Out" by Joe Jackson

This song has been stuck in my head for the past half week or so. Joe Jackson is most famous for this song and "Is She Really Going Out with Him?" Jackson helped bring the New Wave sound to the United States in the late '70s. And for that I thank him. And how can anyone forget his work with William Shatner on the cover of Pulp's "Common People" for Has Been?

I love this song for its optimistic and anticipatory lyrics. The perfect Friday night jam.
