Beginning with the D7 chord, the harmonic sequence descends by way of the circle of fifths to the tonic E, musically portraying the plight of the “hot-and-bothered” performer. Every chord except for the tonic and its relative minor (Cm) is a dominant seventh creating a domino effect as each chord falls upon the other to propel the sexually charged dramatic event. The effect is also effectively colored by the chromatically altered melody notes D and C, which create appoggiaturas with strong downward gravitational pulls that emphasize the character’s emotional collapse in this section of the song.
