about

One of my biggest heartthrobs was my good friend and softball teammate Mike. His love of baseball and that cocky spring in his step made me fall hard, and he was the inspiration for the hit song on Boy Howdy, "I Like Mike", with its Big Bad Voodoo Daddy swing.

Swing-dancing ballplayers, a hunky catcher, and a saucy shower scene. What's not to like?

lyrics

I Like Mike © 2002 Jay Spears Music

I like Mike. What’s not to like?
(We like Mike. What’s not to like?)
He’s the best darn thing to come down the pike
In a good, long while. I like Mike.

He plays hardball, that’s my Mike.
(He’s always playin’ hardball.) That’s my Mike.
Got the leather, got the lumber, he’s a true all-star
A permanent pirate in his muscle car.
He’s always playin’ hardball, that’s my Mike.
(He’s always playin’ hardball.) That’s my Mike.

I like Mike. What’s not to like?….

Mike’s got an attitude, bordering on brattitude
(He’s got an attitude, bordering on brattitude.)
Ball with the big boys makes him all cocky
Mike holds his own cause he’s short but he’s stocky.
He’s got an attitude, bordering on brattitude.
(Mike’s got an attitude, give the guy some latitude.)

I like Mike. What’s not to like?….

(Instrumental break)

Mike doesn’t chew ‘cause I asked him not to.
(He doesn’t chew ‘cause it’s what you asked him not to do.)
He asked me to dance but I sat it out
Mike got the hint and he spat it out.
He doesn’t chew ‘cause I asked him not to.
(Mike doesn’t chew ‘cause it’s what you asked him not to do.)

I like Mike. What’s not to like?….

Ballplayer boyfriend - I like Mike.
Attitude, brattitude - What’s not to like?
Permanent pirate - That’s my Mike.
Muscle car, all-star - What’s not to like?
Sat it out, spat it out - I like Mike.
Ballplayer boyfriend - What’s not to like?
Boyplayer ballfriend - That’s my Mike.
Ballplayer boyfriend - What’s not to like?

He’s the best darn thing to come down the pike
In a good, long while. I like Mike.
