This is a funny, playful song about how the narrator prefers the night time because that's when he gets to smooch his baby. "I don't care if the sun don't shine / I get my loving in the evening time when I'm / With my baby." It's a perfect song for Dean's carefree, swinging pubic persona. His smooth, easy croon blends nicely with the big band and Dixie horns. Fun fact: this song was written for the film Cinderella, but wasn't used in it. Which makes sense, because it's just a shade risqué and doesn't really fit with the Disneyfied fairy tale tone of the film.
"A great song mutates, makes quantum leaps, turns up again like the prodigal son. It crosses genres. Could be punk rock, ragtime, folk-rock, or zydeco, and can be played in a lot of different styles, multiple styles... A great song is the sum of all things." - Bob Dylan
