Wikipedia:
The Power Station was made up of singer Robert Palmer, former Chic drummer Tony Thompson, and Duran Duran members John Taylor (bass) and Andy Taylor (guitar). They came together in 1984 to record a one-off album, as a respite from the relentless global touring and promotion of Duran Duran. Bernard Edwards, also of Chic, was involved on the studio side as recording producer and for a short time also functioned as The Power Station’s manager.
The Power Station was named after the Power Station recording studio in New York, where the album was conceived and recorded.

Lyrics:
Well, you′re dirty and sweet
Clad in black don’t look back
And I love you
You′re dirty and sweet oh yeah
Well you’re slim and you’re weak
You got the teeth of the hydra upon you
You′re dirty sweet
And you′re my girl
Get it on
Bang a gong, get it on
