ong lyrics

The lyrics of the song are of a man describing his feelings for someone (presumably a woman) whom he has an intimate relationship with ("You're still the one, I want to talk to in bed; Still the one that turns my head") and all the reasons why she is "Still the One" for whom he has feelings.

In popular culture

In 1977, "Still The One" was used as a jingle for ABC for their 1977-78 TV season and again in the 1979-80 TV season when that network was the highest rated in the country.

In 2004, the Bush campaign played the song at campaign events until Orleans co-founder (and future Democratic congressman and Bush critic) John Hall commented publicly that the campaign had never received permission to use the song. The campaign later dropped the song from its playlist. Hall expressed similar criticisms when John McCain used the song in his 2008 presidential campaign.

In 2008, it was played at the US Open Tennis Championship every time after Roger Federer wins a match.

The song was covered by Hawaiian group Ka'au Crater Boys in their album "Tropical Hawaiian Day".

The song was also played in the movie "Primary Colors".
